I¹ll have a look at tht. But there¹s no way the university would pay to

something done outside when we already have the staff here!
It¹s maybe a matter of Œcontrol¹. The GDs are the ones who decide the
graphic layout, colours, fonts, heading levels etc. And I don¹t think
they
want to relinquish control over how a site is laid out, so I believe they
want to create the styles for that. But of course they won¹t see the big,
container level picture, or why you should use this style/div and not
that
one, if you know what I mean.
I can do it I have been doing it for a year or more. But they
want/need to
know more about CSS so that they can design sites that work well using
CSS
rather than heavily graphic-based sites ... For example, any navigation
they
create always consists of graphic rollover images, using non-standard
fonts.
If we try and encourage them towards list-based CSS navigation, they
need to
see that even if they give up (in some cases) on specifying fonts, they
can
produce image-based backgrounds for rollovers.
I think it¹s partly about developing a different style of graphic design
for
the web from the old table-based designs we used to use.

A really useful resource, particularly for small companies that may have
limited staff numbers, is http://psd2html.com.
These guys do a very good job of converting a PSD file to standards
compliant
CSS/XHTML. I've used them a couple of times, and have been very pleased
with
the result.
Susie, I mention this in response to your query, as it may be worth
your while
getting a couple of jobs done by these people, and then going through
the
resulting code, as it will certainly show you what you need to be
producing
from your PSD files.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Nick.
