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.

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!

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

Really? That is surprising, how did you encorperate the forum aspect into the fireworks design? Also, what is a vector design?

Thank you

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).

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.
