Interesting. So are you advocating me picking up more CSS knowledge and managing the whole stying/dev myself? Leaving the designer to just generate mock ups and leave me to implement?

Not really, you as the developer can focus on small component creation. Each component applying an over-ride-able style. As you build components and join them together that's where CSS expertise enters more than ever. It takes a while to understand it because the layout stytems don't talk at all.

Thanks for the input John, really appreciate it! I'm swaying more towards letting the designers manage a 'master' stylesheet that covers spacing/fonts/buttons/headers etc etc and then any nitty gritty stuff I can just manage myself.
