have a really good sit down and figure out a decent spec for what you are about to design, if your developer is designing and building databases to feed your front end you should be in genuine , clear agreement about how the website works before you set out, it'll save problems later and help him develop a lean, fast Db which he'll be able to develop faster and more efficiently.
Just remember that things you may add on a whim to the front end can have major ramifications to the structure he'll use in the back end and to how the site will access the information at its core, so get this straight right from the word go and you'll be ok...
if you are building the front end in CSS you'll eliminate a great deal of these kind of conflicts anyway, as I assume you'll be quite focused on streamlining your style sheet and reusing elements anyway
NB. remember, though they may not look it at times, developers are human too and appreciate being treated as such. most of them also like cake, good tip.
