This is how I am using SVG for the web site that I am building for a company. It might work for you. First, get a graphics designer to design some graphics that you need for a web page or a web site you are working on. If you have some drawing abilities, you can do that yourself too. Then, convert it to SVG (many graphics editors can do that now). You can go to the site
http://www.w3.org/graphics/SVG to find out which tools can output SVG. Then, use XSLT or
Java to modify the properties of the SVG generated. Then, use a graphics tool that accepts SVG and generates JPG or GIF. In this way, if only some properties of the graphics need to be changed from time to time, you can change them on-the-fly.
