I wonder how many people still use Photoshop to create mocksups first and then move to HTML/CSS. Ever since CSS3 became popular I create my mockups directly in HTML/CSS3.

I always use Photoshop for my mockups for clients, but I'm still pretty new to web design. I've only been at it about 5-6 months, with 1-2 years experience in graphic design. Any advice?

Looks like they are about to release a tool for that too http://csspiffle.com/

Here's their pitch: http://pitch.csspiffle.com/ Looks quite impressive. The idea is really not new, I've been waiting for more than 4 years now for a good HTML5 tool to go beyond Photoshop/Illustrator/Fireworks/Whatnot. I hope their app lives up to the pitch.

"Hate Flash? Click here!" That one's clever :)

Mine said "hate IE6?". In any case I think it would have been both funny and effective if it led to their products page, something like here is how we will can take your pain away..Redirecting to twitter? I didn't like it.

From the link: "Photoshop is required to use CSS Hat." From their main site: "CSS Piffle. No more photo editing software for web design!" Eating their own dog food?

Well, a lot of people are stuck in Photoshop, unfortunately. That way there could be some transition from PS to straight HTML/CSS.
