(i.e. 10px margin here 5px padding here) It only takes 5 or 10 minutes and is a quick reference if there are any questions.

The "clear" and "Cancel" buttons can be hit by mistake, frustrating the user. How about putting them away from the alphanumeric pad? This redesign doesn’t make sense to me in terms of error-proofing.

As for emailings: by using fireworks html & export features, you can decrease by half the time you need to integrate a design.

Then the dev should only oversize that symbol and export :D I’ll add one: to make the process of creating a background graphic for a button or some other element that’s going to require a “sliding doors” technique, make use of the 9-slice property in the symbols.

Unfortunately as designers we are our worst critics. I think I have successfully designed my personal site about 29 times over and successfully scrap'd it 29 times in hopes of the next one being better. It's frustrating, but I think your site is accomplishing what it needs to as far as communicating who you are, what you've done and what you are capable of. Looking good so far.

Fireworks CS4 will soon start its take over of that niche in the market. I was never impressed with Fireworks until its latest version. I've been trying to use it since the days of Macromedia, but it just never fit well in my tool belt. Do I use Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, or Fireworks? But now Adobe has made it no-brainer. Its most enticing feature for me personally is its ability to make a working clickable prototype of a concept complete with drop down menus, hovers, etc. I've also used it to create clickable pdf's. It makes presentation so much easier. And frankly, in my opinion, Fireworks is the one reason to upgrade from CS3 to CS4. I think you’re right on with your assessment of Fireworks.
