Using InDesign Files with Dreamweaver

For several years my designers have produced layered Photoshop files which I
then import into ImageReady. In ImageReady I produce the slices, background
images, etc.

I have a new designer which likes to use InDesign for Website Design. I am
looking for help from the community regarding the use of InDesign files as raw
material for website development. Do I need to get InDesign or can I import
the file into ImageReady?

Your help is appreciated.

That's nice for him; but what about YOU?

If your workflow does not include InDesign, then his shouldn't for your
jobs; he's working for you, after all. And I've never comes across a web
designer using InDesign for web work (print work, yes - all the time. It's
good for that...). I usually work in Fireworks, but I have one client who
likes to work from Photoshop to match with their in-house designers. For
that client, I use Photoshop.

So... Just tell him the formats you support, and leave him to sort out how
he gets them for you. If you need the source documents as well, then dictate
them also.

Regards,

Pete.

Alternately we work for each other. In some cases I bring the client and ask
them for design. In this particular case they have the client and they have
hired me to do the site programming. They have three other firms that have no
trouble using InDesign files as design raw materials. I like using layered
files so that I can turn layers on or off based on what I need. I do not think
InDesign files are layered. Is that correct?
