That really depends on how your environment is set up. If there is no "Production department" then that very well may be the job of the developer. I work with one other 'developer' and one 'designer' on all of our projects. The designer hands us a PSD, and one of us is left to translate it in to html/css/javascript.
Having separate departments / employees who handle things like PSD -> HTML translations is great if you have it, but not everyone does. On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 10:07 AM, Kristina D. H.
