Choose and download a starter theme:
http://drupal.org/node/322002
http://drupal.org/node/323993

Open up the page.tpl.php file of the starter theme. Copy all code from it that you might want to use into your html file.
Rename page.tpl.php to page.tpl.php.bak . Rename your html file to page.tpl.php .
Now, look through the starter guide at http://drupal.org/theme-guide/6 , You will need to comment out any unused regions in the theme.info file, and include your .css file. Now you can install your theme.

This is probably the hard way, but it uses your html instead of someone else's. If you don't need to do this, you might try using your css to make a starter theme look the way you want. Firebug is invaluable for knowing which selectors to use for your css.

I think that it's better to make your theme's CSS based on drupal HTML output.
If you are a beginner in drupal theming, I suppose that it's the easy way to have a custom look & feel.

I have not installed Drupal yet, I'm trying to figure out how to use my existing design as well.

Do you think a web designer could easily implement their design graphics and css? How much time do you think this would take?

I'm also concerned that while implementing the conversion from html site to drupal that my site is compliant, because it is not at the moment.
