Questions to Ask a Front-End Designer?

I've been working a project, and we've reached a point where we need to bring in a front-end designer. While I know CSS well enough to tweak it, I know when I'm out of my elements and better off handing some of the tasks over to someone who lives and breathes CSS and dabbles a bit in HTML5. I have a few ideas of the questions I'm going to ask, but what about you? What should I watch out for?

Cascading style sheets are great, but these are also a royal pain to deal with. Especially when the learning curve is steep. Fortunately, there are folks who are well-versed in CSS who write articles for us neophytes. One good resource is A List Apart.

Currently I'm working on a set of dye calculators for those of us who like to dye yarn, but don't like to deal with math that it requires to determine the amounts needed. I'll also be putting up some Google Adsense on this page, to generate a bit of revenue for myself. (Why do this? -Ed. Hey . . . why not? Everybody's doing it, so might as well see if it works here.)

There's going to be two columns, the Dye Calculator in the first column and the hopeully non-intrusive Google Adsense in the second column. This article, ""Multi-Column Layouts Climb Out of the Box"" gives me just what I needed to get the layout started.
