+100. This is something I have advised to any designer that would listen. You must have at least a basic understanding of the technology in order to understand the set of affordances with which you use to design your flows.

Which is why I always make a point on Web projects to get HTML/CSS designs instead of Photoshop or PowerPoints.

Adobe used to have a product they inherited from Macromedia called Fireworks that I enjoyed getting designs in, as a developer. It no longer exists, to my knowledge, but it spat out CSS land basic HTML, which I liked.

Still exists (although discontinued). Open the Adobe CC dialogue, go to the Apps part, tick "View older versions" (or something like that), and you should find its CS6 version.
