Do you normal slice up all your buttons and then import it into dreamweaver? Or is it safe to just create a hot spot on a flat lander image where your opt in button is that links to the offer?
Use CSS. Slicing up Photoshop files is a bad way to approach web page creation - very image heavy, not good for load speed. Hotspots are so 1999!
I.e. have a call to action block of text, then use CSS to make that <a> element have x padding/margins and a border, shadow, gradient background, etc.
Here's a sample of some CSS, just add class="cta" to one of your elements.

Ah man i'm only 15 years behind. Do you use muse? I can create lp's pretty easy but i'm trying to view their html code to add tracking links a such and can't figure out how to view it. Do you pull the code off my browser or what? When I export to html it creates a css folder, images folder, scripts folder.. index browser link, musemanifest and sitemap.
You need to export pages from Muse, as you have done, and then edit the HTML in the pages (e.g. index.html) directly using e.g. Dreamweaver, Notepad++, etc.
