Has anyone here had experience designing a full site on Fireworks. I tried using it for the first time last week, and I've got to say that I'm impressed, and I can't believe I got by without it in the past. In a
few clicks it is capable of creating a fantastic looking design that looks entirly unique.
My only qualm is that it doesn't link well with Dreamweaver.

Well it is supposed to go well with dreamweaver, supposed to be pulled in as library or template (or both, i forget). I never liked using the built in way to get it to an actual web page, I would let it splaice it and then code it in myself.

This site was designed in Fireworks. I like it for a certain style of design, like this one. Crisp edges and interestring shapes. Not so good with anything involving photos, and true vector applications are really better for crisp lines so that's what I'm using now (Inkscape).

Thank you

Vector graphics are built by defining objects, ie. draw line from (x,y) to (x,y) Examples of these are Illustrator, CorelDraw, Freehand, WMF
Bitmapped graphics define what color each pixel is set to Examples of these are Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint, BMP, GIF, JPG

The only real bugs for me when using the export feature within fireworks is the way that it build tables by adding 1 pixel spacers everywhere and also lines of comments stating proudly that fireworks was responsible for this!

I typically design my sites in Fireworks, but then don't use the actual HTML it generates, unless I'm in a huge hurry (rush job for clients). Instead, I use the images from the slices and create CSS and HTML that is much cleaner and more web-designer-friendly.
