For me, it's exactly the other way around. I have a beautifully illustrated Photoshop picture and then I turn it into HTML and CSS and I realize that some relative alignments are literally completely impossible to do without design changes or doing some flexbox hack that's not supported on older browsers. The ugliness of HTML quickly catches up to your pretty bitmap. Going with HTML from the start is the way to go (unless you can avoid HTML altogether, in which case you should AVOID IT ALTOGETHER).

This comes automatically if you use HTML+CSS ;)
- zzzcpan 10y agoOf course you have to understand HTML/CSS very well to do good. But it's not going to be efficient to start from that. Luckily Photoshop has a working javascript engine and it's relatively easy to completely automate HTML/CSS/sprites generation and iterate very quickly. Or even better, switch to Inkscape and generate everything from an SVG XML file. We are moving towards all SVGs websites anyway.
