Wireframe/design -> HTML + content.

That is the start.

When I worked at a startup, I was able to outsource ALL of our CSS work, as long as I gave them well-structured HTML.

I saw the look our designer wanted, broke it down into pieces that I could define in HTML and then made that.

I knew what CSS could do, was able to tweak their stuff, and could do it given enough time, but the lesson here is that it all starts with your structured document.
