First time post here. But I have some experience with use cases so I thought I could be helpful.

The short answer is: Just say yes. It takes about a day to figure out what they are and how they work (not to write them). The harder part is the CSS/XHTML--which I'm assuming you're comfortable or becoming comfortable with based on your interest in this group.

The longer answer is: Go to alistapart and look up use cases. If that isn't enough, google a guy named Alistair Cockburn (alistair.cockburn.us), or Kendall Scott. Use cases are basically a common way to gather requirements for a software application. They are written in the form: "actor does something, system responds." ("Actor" is often, but not necessarily, a user. An actor can also be an external system). Use cases are most appropriate for applications (be it web or desktop), not content-heavy websites (even dynamic ones).

Good luck,
Tim

I was recently asked by a recruiter:

"Do you have experience with creating CSS/XHTML layouts from Use Cases?"

I havent heard of any company who does use this method so if anyone on the list does use it, I'd appreciate knowing how it is applied and what benefits there are

thanks
