As described in the previous answers, You need to have a basic understanding of the target audience. At the moment there are a huge number of world wide users of the web using 1024x768. So why design a website which is bigger? You need to start on the bases that the screen resolution is the largest size you can stretch too. Once you have done this, start thinking about how your going to lay the page out. Design the page in 1024x768 and go from there. Gary.

Basically, In photoshop you need to represent exactly how you want the website to look. There is a slicing tool in photoshop which allows you to create areas in the design to be withdrawn. You can even select every area in photoshop! and save for web. What i will say is this ia a very horrible way of making a website and can lead to disastrous speeds. What you need to do is first work out how to create the basic layout and colours using HTML and CSS. Find a valid HTML template you can use to start with and then add DIV elements to create boxes or areas which will be used to contain data or images. Secondly use CSS to style and alter the DIV elements to a particular size or colour. Once you have got the template as the general layout and it looks the same except without images and text, you then need to start bringing in the images and text. Meaning using photoshop slice the images and typing in the text in HTML. If you need more information on HTML and CSS, the best place for learning particular information is: HTML : http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp CSS : http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp Gary.

The alternative if forgetting about using a border property on your div element. The best solution is to: create a DIV element with a style background-colour: your desired border colour. create an inner DIV element with a style of your desired page background colour. You know how to create transparency and this will work on the background.] Gary
