With GWT it is possible to pretty much build your UI in HTML and simply inject key components, with event handlers etc., into the DOM structure. You would use an HTMLPanel and add(Widget widget, String id). Few people seem to be aware of this.

I used this approach to build TeamPostgreSQL (demo at http://teampostgresql.herokuapp.com/), where the designer built the entire interface in HTML and I just inject GWT widgets in the right places.
