Setting up my own site

Well, I've started laying out my site in photoshop, looking good so far. Will be spending a fair part of the xmas holidays getting it 'just right', I then need to build it, now this is where it gets tricky, I'm a print based designer, been using photoshop for nearly 20 years now, so the creation and slicing up is not a problem, however the coding is.

I've been told to avoid Apple's iWeb and to learn how to hand code HTML and CSS from the photoshop files using a text editor like Textmate or Coda.

In the long term I'm going to follow this route, however I need to get my site up asap and it has a nifty navigation feature that I'd like to include. Think I'll ask my wife (who can code) for her opinion...
