Another one of those 'why didn't I think of that?' ideas. Thanks, Suz.

Most so-called interactive agencies work this way now. Their creatives only
use photoshop for layout, and then they have 'developers' who code the html
and javascript. Seem that the skill sets represented by most of the members
of this list - most of us do both design and coding, for example - seem to
be disappearing in favour of more specialisation. Personally, I'm with
Robert Heinlein when he wrote, 'Specialisation is for insects.'
