Title: Re: [WSG] CSS resources for Graphic designers?

I agree with Christian. Do wireframes, then make them pretty, and then cut up the PSD files yourself so that it works on-screen, rather than being dictated to by a pixel-perfect design.

 

That said though, StyleMaster (http://www.westciv.com/style_master/) is a good css editor, but I've never found an 'easy way' for designers to make a photoshop image and then spit out good standards compliant (x)HTML/CSS, particularly good liquid layouts rather than pixel perfect designs.

 

If I'm to be honest, I would say that many graphic designers need to take a step back and design screen prototypes (only) based on wireframes that are developed through a proper information architecture methodology that are then realised in (X)HTML /CSS by those with good CSS skills.

 

N'est pas?

If I am taking a design from a graphic designer, I would just want
them to give me the layers and I can go about slicing them manually as
necessary to build the design with CSS. There's no need to use awkward
"layout wizards" provided by software like Photoshop or ImageReady;
those programs are for making graphics, not webpages.
