I am another XaraX user for webpage designs, but you could use another vector tool; although we would all say that XaraX is good and fast...
I use the Layers extensively so I can mix and match elements; for example a white heading over a green colour or a green-tinted texture. I put the text in one layer, the green in a second and the texture in a third.
I then export a series of versions of the complete page as gifs or whatever and tuck them into a Word document explaining each.
I've a attached an example. As it opens it shows the design that, with a few tweaks, went live.
