That's not going to tell me how the graphics were drawn, is it? :-P
If I'm lucky, I might be able to determine how this elaborate collection
of images was stiched together to make a web page. But in all
likelihood, the CSS and stuff was machine-generated and will be utterly
unreadable.

Funny thing is, I've figured out how to do this with a graphics card, but I
still am not sure if it would work the same for a HTML page. :-)

I didn't particularly note any graphics, unless you were referring to the
page layout.
In which case, you might look at Inkscape, since ISTR it has the ability
to export vector drawings to be used as a web layout.

That's quite possible.

Me neither, which is why I let a web design professional do the heavy
lifting. :-)

Oh, sweet! Now when you do "view source" in Firefox, anything that's a
link is actually hyperlinked. That's nice.
OK, so looking at the CSS for this page, apparently it's a WordPress
theme called "black piano":

Now, if I can just figure out how it works...

...and using Photoshop, I wouldn't even know how to create the stripy
background. Goodness only knows how you do the curved corners, the
delicious drop shadows, the glow effect at the top of the page, and so
on and so forth. (And then, as I said, there's the "minor detail" of
turning all of thise graphics into a web page somehow...)

I fondly remember the first company I ever worked at where people weren't
pissy and selfish and grumpy. I had hand-drawn a diagram of a rather complex
architecture, with multiple messages flying between computers in different
administrative domains and stuff like that. I went to the head of marketing
and said "Do we have anything I could use to turn this into something
presentation-quality?" She took it from my hand, glanced at it, reached it
over the wall of the cubicle she was standing next to,and said "Yes. His
name is Tom."
