    Fellow Developers,

    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 "pretty" ie. graphics, menus, etc. I'm not a web designer or graphics artist. In fact, I have trouble drawing stick figures :)

    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 "pretty"? OR - should I let the DreamWeaver create the UI first and THEN give it to me to add the ASP.NET functionality?

    If you don't feel that you can create an outstanding UI ;) You can let the UI team know about the new features such as the MasterPage, Themes, Skins, Menu control and Treeview control etc, and they could create a design for you. After they have done that, you can implement the UI.
