Design Specifics

Now I know that some of you use hard cose to create your pages but I do not. I am using dreamweaver.

My question is: Lets say you want to create a template to use on your site. Do you make separate graphics and place them on a page in dreamweaver?

Or do you make an entire page with photoshop, fireworks, illustrator, Flash, etc. then export it to dreamweaver with all the appropriate slices, rollovers, etc.?

I've been mostly inserting graphics as needed but I want to create a more appealing site with graphics that mold together and look nice. Nothing real fancy just clean, crisp interfaces and the like.

Thanks!

I make the entire designs first in photoshop/flash5

I make everything seperate in Photoshop and saves them as pics. Then I use Dreamweaver to import them.

I try to use as little pictures as possible. If something can be done with a layer then I'll use a layer instead.
