I gotta go with Goulven on this one. As a web designer you should be calling the shots on how the design - at least small details like gutter width etc - fits your work. This is a battle I've fought many times over the years and I've gone from being very (too) accommodating to the designers to just rejecting any improperly formatted PSD. The fact is that ultimately the PSD's don't count for anything. You're the one who's going to bring them to life on the web, and the web isn't as malleable or customizable as a lot of designers seem to think. I recommend you try to foster a culture of standards in your workplace. Many designers are great with aesthetics but simply don't understand the web and the technologies that you need to use to make a site work. This is not really their fault - they were trained to do Photoshop and color theory etc - and of course everyone can't know everything. So, long story short, make the design fit your grid, not the other way around and try to educate the designers a little bit (you don't have to go all standardista apeshit ) about the issues and at the very least get them to start using a standard grid. There are all sorts of tools/plugins they and you can use in Photoshop and in Firefox (firebug of course, and the great addition : Pixel Perfect - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7943) that will make your lives easier and allow you to get on the same page. This is a super important issue and I'm glad you brought it up! Best of luck Jitendra
