    To answer your question a bit more, it depends on the type of site you are creating. If you are creating an CSS/HTML site, obviously you wouldn't use Flash to design it. In fact, there seems to be a general consensus here that designing in Flash is usually not the way to go.

    Photoshop is a pretty good tool to layout sites, and slice up to be converted to CSS/HTML. It's also works pretty good for laying out and exporting your graphics into Flash. Other tools like Fireworks seem to integrate with Flash a little better. Illustrator may arguably be a little bit better for flash as well since both are vector based. Personally, I always use Photoshop regardless of the type of site. But I also usually start on paper which saves a ton of time.
