I let the graphics people do the pretty stuff (which is beyond me, and I
know it) and when the client likes the look of the comp, I take a printout
of the Photoshop file and mark where I want the image sliced, then build
the HTML out by hand in HomeSite, since I found out that it takes me longer
to tweak code than to start fresh.
I work on one page until I've got the code most of the way to where I want
it, then "chunk" it up for the SSI files. Since most of the navigation
issues are worked out while the client is looking at comps, I can usually
just use the first page as a template and start building the rest of the
site after that.
I'm very impressed by people who can do the graphics _and_ the code, but...
