Whenever I am ready to slice up the design, I usually go from the logo downward.

Unless of course it's some especially unique design.

Agreed. Automatically sliced Photoshop HTML is one of the worst things you can do to a site.

Eww, you can automate slicing in PS?

That doesn't sound right.

Although I'm a frequent Photoshop user, I only know about this because of the frequent garbage questions that we take here about how to fix the mess of a display in such or such browser, etc, when code is generated this way.

Tables + heavy absolute positioning = Photoshop HTML = poor plan for the future.

Quick mockup of the design process:

My preferece is to start from the top and work down, but you can do it which ever way you want.

1. Create your logo
2. Build a java menu

Add those two items to your page

Create the image that clearly expresses what your company is about with the Welcome statement along side it.

Then explain what your website is about with highlights and other relevant information

You may wish to use the bottom area to add a featured partners banner and along side that, your hours of operation.

Note: I prefer putting the hours of operation at the top somewhere that is easily found.

Also the links at the bottom of the page should be located at the top of the page, especially the contacts link for obvious reasons.

That said,
Good Luck
