Having looked around at the options listed so far, I would have to say HTML-TEMPLATE is looking like your best bet, as it is not going to make a horrible mess in dreamweaver. It looks a little verbose, but that should help keep as much of the logic out of the html and in the code as possible.
cl-emb might be able to handle the <% %> tags as a recent version seems familiar with server-side tags, but the thing I hate about these systems is that you end up with a big fat mess that cannot be seen properly, and embedding the language in the html leads to madness, I have been down that road, and have never been the same. :)
cl-who is definitely NOT what you want to be working with, it will not allow for an easy back and forth between the two of you. I like cl-who for my own stuff but it is completely unfriendly to projects where you have a division of skills.
I have never found the ideal way to handle this, plone templates come close, because they embed everything in tags, and extend the xhtml namespace, very nice, but you pay with a sacrifice if power. Personally I like cl-who but would never want to work with a visual/web designer with it.
My 2 cents, I hope it helps. ;)

P.S. I think the xslt idea is neat (despite my aversion to xslt itself), but will not help your situation.

For this kind of cooperation, people usually use templating systems like, for example, my HTML-TEMPLATE. My experience is that this works quite well, at least to a certain extent.

Hi, list,
I am developing my first web app of any kind. I've no experience with other web app frameworks (like RoR or what have you). I am working with a friend, who knows Dreamweaver and other fairly high level web-design tools, but can't code at all. On the other hand, I don't know web-design at all, using tools or not, so we're pretty complementary.
So I'm seeking guidance on how I can continue to develop using Hunchentoot and cl-who, and yet integrate machine-generated html or css or what have you from Dreamweaver or other tools?
As I understand it, this is a known difficulty that other teams and tool designers have faced, and if I'd ever worked with any other teams or tools then it might be a no-brainer, but given my lack of experience in this respect I'm not even sure what to Google to find answers for myself.
I'd appreciate any advice, links, pointers, etc, that users of Hunchentoot and/or cl-who could provide. Thanks!
