There's very little connection between interface design and the technologies used to implement it.
For starters, whatever you design in Photoshop typically looks 10-30% different in the browser when converted to HTML. That is significant enough to make the concept look very different than the actual browser interface implementation.
An interface designer who only operates in Photoshop thus cannot deliver accurate-looking concepts.
- mikeryan 15y agowhatever you design in Photoshop typically looks 10-30% different in the browser when converted to HTML HTML isn't the culprit here. Any design done in a static medium is going to change when actually implemented on a device, for a platform. But it could just as easily be Flash as HTML. Good designers understand and account for the target medium (flexible sizes, variable fonts etc). Also I reject your initial hypothesis. With a knowledgeable designer's design I can get a pixel perfect HTML implementation. If your design changes 30% just in the implementation then your designer doesn't understand the medium very well.
