I've actually found Excel very useful for knocking-up a site layout enough to get a designer onto it... For getting something graphical, I've used SiteSpinner.

I've actually found Excel very useful for knocking-up a site layout enough to get a designer onto it... For getting something graphical, I've used SiteSpinner. It gives PowerPoint-style WYSIWYG editing, and produces pretty good HTML code. The pages look exactly like they did when you drew the page. Cheap but has a lot of design functions.
