Not never, but it can be VERY miminal.

Have the "webby" folks do the templates.  A small learning curve on how they
work, and bingo.  Just tell me the names of the sections and replacement
variables and I'll code the RPG.

I've done it that way before.  I've also done it where I build a basic
template and they add whatever they want (stylesheets, images, etc).

Then again, I like to get my hands dirty with the webby folks so I can learn
more and more.  although, with today's WYSIWYG tools, they produce some
pretty awful looking code HTML/JavaScript/CSS..  *shudder*

for one of the examples before (the insurance one) that I posted, that's
exactly what we did.  I wrote the CGI, Aaron's "webby" folks at his place
did the beautification.  That was almost a perfect example of having the
right skillsets involved to produce a great application.
