Do you know about slices in Photoshop? How about saving your whole layout as a web page? Those are good places to start because with Photoshop you can actually design the whole layout, cut it up with slices and then save it as html and images and it does a lot of the job for you. All that you have to do at that point is no the code so you can optimize it! So you are on the right track!
