I have worked in situations where the designer created the UI first and then
passed the html on to the coder. This works ok, but can cause the coder to
wait on the designer.
I have also worked with a different system where we used controls that were
skinned. This approach requires a solid roadmap for each UI via written
requirements, but it allows the coder to create the code behind and the
controls while the designer works on the html that will be placed in the
skin control. The designer passes the html to the coder when it's complete
and the coder replaces the html control tags with the aspnet control tags in
the html when it gets put together. The custom control that loads up the
skin control simply uses the page.findcontrol("blah") function.
I don't think one is better than the other, but this is how I've dealt with
these challenges in the past.
