It's even quicker to just hit them around the ears with a hot
clueiron.
"Web designers" do not work with graphic layouts. The web is not a
graphical medium, it's a declarative text medium that might give rise
to one of several graphical representations when combined with a
particular user's particular combination of browser and settings at
the far end. Not understanding the difference is the #1 worst problem
in web design. Nearly everything else flows from this.
If you think there's only "one true graphic representation" of your
site, then you'll be sorely disappointed when it's viewed on a browser
that can't or won't reproduce it in exactly that way.
