Hi Alex, Thanks for you help. GIMP is probably a good way to go. I forgot to ask about design patterns, which I think is part of my problem. What I really wanted to find out was if there are well documented design patterns (any format) for the standard constructs that make up a web application.
Cheers, Andrew.
