    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

      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..

    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?

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

        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.
