If you post any specific questions on Webforumz then I'm sure that someone can answer them. In fact I can't think of a website-related topic that at least one of our regular members doesn't know in detail.

Learning HTML can be a bit hard for people who aren't familiar with programming/markup and have only dabbled with applications or, like yourself, have simply followed an industry for many years. It's less about learning HTML and more about learning a new way of doing things. Once you know HTML, I'm sure that css will follow very very quickly.

'Save for web' in Photoshop is a good feature, but it simply saves an image and nothing more. That's fine for individual graphics, but obviously you can't use that for an entire website. For a start it saves the text in the graphic (so it isn't actual text!) which creates fairly large images - much larger than the text would be in HTML. Also there is then the problem of screen resolutions. You can't make the image stretch for different resolutions without it becoming pixellated and looking...stretched!

I think that you could learn the basic HTML to put some text, images and a few links between pages in an afternoon, especially if you use an online tutorial that skips the crap and gets straight down to business.
