I want the page to just stay 'still' as such, (i.e. no scrolling.
Also do i transfer the layout image into dreamweaver as a GIF?
Hope my questions dont sound too dumb.
Also, if i wanted to do basic animation (ie fade up images and text with rollover command) does this need to be done in Flash for the best results or would Fireworks be sufficient (one i work out if and how this is possible in Fireworks or if not then start to learn Flash.)
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my two cents. I design all my templates in Fireworks. Two or Three templates a Day. I use 785 wide because the scrollbar takes up a little room. And I usually set it at 600 pixels long. I would recommend you slice the template and use jpeg for exporting. Because if you use
gif (from my experience) the images don't look the way they should. They are not crisp. To save load time on your site I would recommend you use
CSS for rollover buttons, links, etc. If you are planning to submit this site to search engines you need to keep the size of it down. This is just my two cents. If you would like some help please feel free to PM me.
