At first, I began to design my site completely in dreamweaver. I quickly realized there were things I wanted to do (make non-flash rollover buttons mainly) that dreamweaver couldn’t do, but photoshop could.
Dreamweaver CAN create rollovers–but you have to make the images in Photoshop. Dreamweaver isn’t an image-editing program.
I then began to design my site in photoshop, only to learn that the text is turned into a graphic as well (duh).
Yep. That’s why you need both a graphics program and an HTML editing program.
Currently, I have a page in
photoshop, jump to image ready, save for web, then open with dreamweaver and try that, but i’m having problems with keeping the area designated for text to behave. It always re-shapes the existing design and requires several layers to work correctly.
Never designate fixed-size areas for text!!! You can not rely on how large the text will be in the user’s browser. Even if you specify the size of the text in a style sheet, the user’s browser may be set to override your settings.
It sounds like you need to re-think your design. You should NEVER make any assumptions about how large text will be, how it will wrap, or where it will fit.
