I agree, when doing quick mock-ups I will often resort to any one of three
graphics programs that will allow me to perform some sort of pseudo-rapid
development. Not all of those three generate any code, but usually (with a
little forthought) I can layout design quickly once approved by the
client.

<tip>Do not over complicate tables in database design, documentation (if
you
are kind enough to perform that act for others that follow behaind you)
will
also be needlessly complicated. K.I.S.S. applies to all database
structures.

I am not sacrificing anything.  Sure, not everything will translate
identical, but a good
designer, someone that knows how to hand code, can usually see that doing
the initial layout.  It
took me a long time to come around to this way of thinking, but I've
slapped
myself on the
forehead for being too much a purist for trying this sooner.

That's my take on it.

Sincerely,
