Creating Image Slices to Export to Dreamweaver

If designing a web page were as simple as designing and image in Fireworks and uploading to a server everyone could do it.

The goals is to use the natural abilities of CSS to style a much as possible and use imagery for what CSS can not handle.

  1. Open your Mock-up Image in Fireworks
  2. Using the Slice tools highlight the areas you wish to export to Dreamweaver
