I am having a debate with someone about whom should be made responsible for HTML design.
We can't agree with each other when we talk about it, so maybe hearing what everyone else thinks about it might finally put this debate to rest, or so I am hoping ;)
Here is my question:
You have at your disposal 2 employees: one is a application programmer (AP), and the other is a graphic designer (GD).
You want to launch a site, so you will need your pages designed and you will need scripts coded to run the site.
Your graphic designer has designed the layout with Photoshop in PSD format.
Which employee will you assign to convert/slice the PSD into a HTML document/template?
My position is that the GD should be submitting the PSD in HTML format, and the AP should be taking that HTML and applying the application code to the page to end up with the final product.
The GD's position is that converting/slicing to HTML format is coding work, not graphical work, and as such fall under the responsibility of the AP.
Arrgh, what are we going to do!!!???!!!
