I use Photoshop to create all my layouts, then I cut them up and code 'em. Simply the best way I've found to do it.
You sir, are 100% correct.

Design your web layout, export the graphics from Photoshop and, if you're unable to code by hand, just build your pages in DreamWeaver or a comparable HTML editor (Is there one?).

ImageReady is great for creating basic .gif animations and exporting web graphics but extremely innefficient at coding in JavaScript (rollovers, form validations, etc.). Use the right tool for the right job.
