Graphic comps are static images, not moving, user-controlled, flexible web pages. They can only go so far in approximating the appearance of the page you’ll ultimately build. Nevertheless, there are steps you can take during the creation of the comp to make it more representative of your final page as well as easier to turn into that page when it comes time to slice it.
Note
Throughout this chapter, I’ll be using Fireworks as the graphics creation and editing program in my examples. However, you can use whatever program you like to create flexible web design comps.
