Hi Stephen, Don't know if my way is the "best" way but this is what I do. I start with a mockup graphic in layers. Then I consider how I can create that layout without tables and start my XHTML with a few divs for the main areas - banner, left column, center column, right column, footer, etc. Then I build a CSS file that will position those divs where I want them to be. I check the shell design in several browsers, and make appropriate adjustmens/hacks as necessary, then I validate the CSS and XHTML to be sure I'm in compliance. Once I have that shell design, I just add what I need in each of the divs, and along the way I'll check in various browsers and revalidate.
I'd love to hear what others are doing, this could be a good thread. Hope that helps a bit.

What I mean to say is, do you type of all the HTML first, mark it up and then write the CSS or do you do it piece meal? I am just trying to figure out a logical process which to go by so that I can make my work easier to understand and accomplish. Thanks!
