Don't think I could have made the animated gif  band logo's with photoshop, 
while it's a piece of cake with pov. Neither the buttons.
Achieving the same level of detail would be far beyond my photoshop 
knowledge. Pov gives you just that extra degree of control and the ability 
to produce something good looking even if you're not an expert graphics 
designer.
The header and side blocks were made with HDRI, not so easy to do in 
photoshop either I think.
Actually the only thing I used photoshop for is to make the background band 
logo image of the pages. I started from a greay image rendered with pov and 
then made a seamless tile of it and changed the color scheme of it with 
Photoshop.
The buttons were rendered with pov on hi res and then rescaled to the right 
size for the web page with irfanview.
