As an front-end engineer, it pains me to see some pixel perfect thing of beauty that a graphic designer has whipped up in Macromedia, with the most $deity-awful pile of auto-generated crud backing it up, with no considerations for usability, or feasibility of making it work on multiple different browsers.

Even getting something close to looking the same across multiple browsers and resolutions is a herculean task.

So yeah, you pooped out something pretty. Well done and all that. Now the hard work begins, polishing that turd until it is dynamic (i.e. loads the appropriate data), usable and accessible.

Get yourself some potty training (e.g. roll the html by hand) and then we'll talk about respect.

I am a front-end, and know Cocoa and deal with back-end systems in my working capacity, so I think I can comment on both sides.

When I said "As a designer," I meant "in the eyes of a designer." Most people here like to wear enough hats that it makes sense.

Try to be a little less condescending next time.
