have i done this the wrong way around?

you did it absolutely the right way IMO

As a developer who uses designers a lot, I suggest you look into finding a live person who can meet your specs, and have an ongoing relationship so you can easily do more tweaks in the future.

Look at elance or scriptlance or find a local freelance - and I agree go with css and templates to make it easy for you too.
