lynda.com has good tutorials.

I prefer to design my mini sites in fireworks as it makes the whole process a lot quicker (but you have less graphical options).

Fireworks is graphic editor, so should be compared with Photoshop, not Dreamweaver, at least that's what I know

Fireworks can replace photoshop. You would still do some stuff in dreamweaver.

The way I do it is make website as a picture in fireworks. Add slices and export html & images.

Open up file in dreamwevaer and make a few small mods like setting certain images as cell backgrounds and adding a little css and hey presto.

I can make a mini site and export it to html in under 1 hour. I can't do that with photoshop and image ready.

Is it true that Firework can export the psd files into CSS-base layout?

Thanks, I will maybe use that also.

What I am really looking for is probably along the lines of a product that teaches building minisites specifically..

Don't know. I heard imageready could and I made some posts on webmaster forums but I didn't get any help back.

yes Lynda.com provide the best tutorials in bite sized portions. The tutorials are very user friendly with exercise files for practice.

Yes that is true, although it helps if you can get 'under the hood' and play with the css. but it is pretty good.

a minisite is just an image exported into a website. Learn to make an image and you know how to make a minisite.
