> i'd like to be able to tell them what i need done in there language... When you say "in their language", do you mean "putting it in terms that they will understand", or "telling them exactly how to write the code"? Neither of these should really be necessary. You should be able to state your requirements, and then follow up with any clarifications if necessary. Since you've taken the role of "non-technical creator", it's probably best if you're not involved with the actual design of the code. (Not including how the site behaves, looks, etc.)
