Or do you create the HTML code on the fly, right on Notepad/Dreamweaver?

I typically start by drawing undecipherable sketches on the paper (usually during my bus rides to and from home) and then go on to type in the xhtml markup, followed by the css markup. Interspersed in the css markup phase is the Photoshop "image creation" phase, where I create the necessary graphics.

These days, though, I'm moving more towards first creating a Photoshop mockup and then creating the xhtml/css markup, just because it's a lot easier to make changes to Photoshop mockups than it is to the xhtml/css markup.

It really depends on the size of the project.
