I was just interested to know whether most people here use photoshop or similar to always mock up their designs before creating the final site in a code editor. Would you say a mock up is essential? Or just trial and error the design through pure code editing? If you don't have photoshop what...

thanks, Does anyone else here do freelance design and use paypal for the transactions? How do you work it out? Im trying to find the best approach. Im selling hosting aswell as design services but the site ties into paypal for the payment gateway. It all works great, im just not sure how to...
