being a much better coder than designer, I usually let the GD come up with an idea as a PSD (Photoshop) which I then recreate in HTML and CSS as closely as possible.

Well...you'll need to learn how to write html. There are a multitude of places on the web to learn and books you can read.
Do a Google seach to find tutorial sites, and check out Amazon or even your local library.

What you might want to do is find a free or low cost template to work from. Then you can study it to figure out how it was put together while you're building your site with it. That's an easy way to get something that looks decent, quickly.
Otherwise you're going to have to spend a lot of time learning how to use your software. What a lot of us do (or used to do), is make a mock-up of our design in the graphics program first. Then you would slice it up and plug it into your HTML. Personally, I use a hybrid a lot now, working back and forth between HTML and the graphics software. It takes experience, but you'll learn. Just keep plugging away.
