Is there a program that somehow lets you cut a complete site-layout (one image) into several pieces and automatically genrates the html code with the tables and puts the appropriate images into them .. ?

feN -

Yeah, there are a few in fact. I would personally recommend Macromedia Fireworks because it interfaces nicely with Dreamweaver, but I'm sure others would prefer Adobe ImageReady.

In addition, they will optimize each slice for the best compression as well. Really sweet!

If you don't feel like shelling out $ for the program, feel free to contact me and we can work something out. I've been a designer for years and would be happy to work out a deal for you -

Cheers,

Image Ready does a good job for what your trying to do

Fireworks is better. Much easier to make a slice animated, or with rollover behaviour. And the produced jpg & gif files are with better compression - smaller in size than Photoshop/ImageReady, while keeping a very good quality.

but either way it's better to touch the generated html by hand to optimize it for more complex design effects, which you just can't achieve in a single image - blending with and manipulating page backgrounds, adding text elements and stuff like that.

Agree!

I'm a huge Fireworks fan. Works great with Dreamweaver if you do have to edit one of your slices on the fly.
