How to Create a Web Page with Macromedia Fireworks
Adobe Fireworks is an excellent tool for many applications, including the creation of websites and prototyping HTML pages. Fireworks has many outstanding features including vector graphic creation, pop-up menu formation, rollover buttons with rich colors, templates and background textures.
You can create your web pages in Fireworks and export them up to the web in a short series of seamless clicks. You also have the option of keeping all of your graphic images (assets) in a separate directory for later reference once the export has taken place. Fireworks does all of this for you.
