Our designers create graphical mockups for new designs, create the initial html, css, and image sprites & maintain those files. After the initial hand-off, our developers work everything into .Net code, templates, etc.
The problem: When our designers get tasked with designing or tweaking a feature, they can't work from their initial mock-up html. They can go to the live (or beta) site and view-source, saving the html out from their browser, but it's tedious, prone to error, and quickly gets out of date.
Is there an easy way to automate html creation either on build or on a button-push (batch operation) from a site created in .Net?
Difficulty: Some of the pages (transactions, accounts) are https and would require a passthrough of a username/password. Since this is all on a beta site, there's relatively few issues of security in passing that in clear text.
