Good thoughtful response. And, we actually use the same process. I do use Photoshop for elements, buttons, logos etc as you do. To be clear, what I stated in the post is I don't do ui or ux or layout in PS.

Do you draw out your UI/UX first? Do you use paper? Balsamiq? Anything like that?

All I'm saying is that if you're comfortable in Photoshop, it makes a pretty good mockup tool. I forego pen and paper, and jump straight into Photoshop, and that's what works for me. Squares on a paper just doesn't give me a good picture of what I'm doing.

I'm impressed that you can visualize a site layout in code, but it doesn't work as well for me. To each their own.
