Howto combine Catalyst(and TT) developers and Dreamweaver web designers?

Hi

Hopefully this is not too off-topic.

I am required to develop the backend of a website which will
be designed 
by another company. Unfortunately this is being forced upon
me.
We have decided that we are going to use Catalyst+TT for the
backend.

Now my question is, how does one segment the project/html so
that the 
web designers can easily change static sections of pages
while allowing 
me to actually use TT in a modular way?

None of my ideas so far are practical enough to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Gert Burger

you could try something like: 

# this is where the designers hang
lib/wrapper.tt 

#misc blocks the designers can include in the
sidebar/header
lib/blocks/newsfeed.tt
lib/blocks/poll.tt

#each action, wrapped by wrapper.tt
actions/name/space/action.tt 

teach them about [% PROCESS %] and [% WRAPPER %]

Dreamweaver tends to be possessive of the document space and will behave as though it controls the whole thing from beginning to end. For that reason, site wrappers may just confuse it. It has its own fancy ways of maintaining common layout and navigation. I recommend setting it up so Dreamweaver handles all the presentation code. The HTML it generates is surprisingly readable, and all you have to do then is make the appropriate data available. All DW users need to understand is the [% tags %].
