&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I'm in the process of learning ASP.NET via VS 2005 Beta.  I've been working on the basic functionality of a simple app, but now need to focus on making it look &amp;quot;pretty&amp;quot; ie. graphics, menus, etc.  I'm not a web designer or graphics artist.  In fact, I have trouble drawing stick figures :)
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the typical approach for someone like me?  Just use themes/skins?  Or hand off the app to our DreamWeaver guy and let him make it look &amp;quot;pretty&amp;quot;?  OR - should I let the DreamWeaver create the UI first and THEN give it to me to add the ASP.NET functionality?</description></item></channel></rss>
