    I would browse the several wordpress theme sites out there, find one similar to what you want, then modify it

    What i normally do is create your page design in photoshop and export all images into a folder then:

    1. Create your homepage (index page) using your prefered publishing tool, mine is golive cs

    2.Once you have completed the hompage seperate each section using html comments with "header" "content" and "footer"

    3.Include the php hirachy code which is used in wordpress into your html page

    4.Create new documents like header.php and footer.php and include the code from your homepage, dont forget to delete the header and footer code in your index page.

    5.Upload the files into your themes folder, making sure its in one folder.

    6. Activate the theme in your wordpress options.

    Thats just the homepage completed, repeat these steps for each page you like to have, e.g single page, search page.

    Useful pages you should read through:

    Hope this helps
