Depends on how you're doing the development. I've successfully used FrontPage (blech) and Nvu (less blech, but is still pretty unpolished) as the layout platform, with calls to hand-written PHP functions as needed for dynamicism. With judicious use of CSS (yeah, try teaching a FrontPage jockey how to use CSS -- it's a fucking nightmare) the designer can do pretty much all of the prettying up. I've not worked out a way to let graphics wallies comprehensively screw with the layouts produced by my real PHP apps, but if you're not throwing stuff together, you should be able to get a good process going, where your graphics wallies doing the layout after the initial design phase, and then integrate the layout stuff into the app properly. - Matt
