I have no idea what you're talking about. Certainly you are not talking about
building a webpage or a site for the world wide web.
For the world wide web content is the most important thing. And content cannot
come from Photoshop which is mainly (as the name suggests) for images. Content
is there outside the web also. It is a story, a manual, text, music, images
meant to be content.
If really starting with nothing, focus on the content. Write your pages.
Structure them logically, that is imagine where headings are and paragraphs and
lists. Imagine how the pages relate to one another.
Then mark up the content you thus created. Markup is there to communicate your
content in any way you visitor might try to get to your content. A very basic
page has the following structure:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>The title of the page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The visible title of the page</h1>
<p>Some text for your first paragraph.</p>
<h2>A heading of the next level</h2>
<p>More paragraphs.</p>
<p>...</p>
</body>
</html>
Find yourself a good tutorial on html (hypertext markup language) through
Google. There are many online. As Els pointed out: a good tutorial on html
doesn't propagate the use of markup that creates looks. Looks and page layout
are best taken care of with css, cascading stylesheets. But that is an entirely
different chapter. Think content-markup-styles and keep them seperate
completely. Then you are starting to learn how to create pages that can safely
be published on the world wide web.

All I get to see is a completely white page that seems to be a table with some
borders. Without any images (my preference) I don't get to see anything. There
is also nothing there for search engines for example to find and index. No one
will find your site through Google if you stick with your current method.
