[hallo]

when i design a webpage.. i have an idea of what i want, I write the html code for it.. and then design all the buttons and boarders in photoshop to go with it.

Is this how most designers work?

should I be starting to design my websites in photoshop to begin with and then writing my html to fit the design I make? Or am i talking crazy and got the wrong end of the stick?

You should first think about the different elements of the page, and write the code semantically according to those elements. Then add styling with CSS. First think of the structure, then the layout and design.

Before I start designing I allways have a clear picture in my head of how I wnt it to look and how it will be layed out. I then go into photoshop and do the full design of the template in there, I then take in into image ready and cut it up and then save it as a webpage.

Next I open it up with Dreamweaver and clean up the html and set the CSS.

I feel its allways better to do the full design 1st in photoshop that way you can make any changes to the design as you go along without having to worry about it not working with your coding.

You should first think about the different elements of the page,and then the turn of codes come. You should make a proper pattern in your mind and then should give it a start.
