tim_ver Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I wanted to know the easiest way to convert a PSD file(website page layout) to HTML. I have the site done some what an the layout is ok but we now want to change it. The website is done in PHP/Mysql now and we need to have the new layout put in place for only one of the pages not the whole website. I use Photoshop cs and Dreamweaver if this helps any.

cmgmyr Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 take a look at this: http://www.eyesondesign.net/pshop/slicing/images.htm you pretty much have to slice up your images and "save for web" with html and images selected. this will output a table with all of your sliced images in it. If you want to add another step look into CSS layouts and convert the tables into CSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ver Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Is this hard to do? New to doing this so is there a large learning curve or not? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 no it's pretty easy (atleast to do the table version) once you get into CSS its a little tricky with some things but once you work with it more it becomes second nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ver Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ok, what it is for is the website has a db with serval companies all have different photo's and text so just need the layout and the rest would all be different. Not sure if I need the css, ideas on how I implement the code after the slicing? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ver Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 After I do the slice what is next now? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 you have to "save as webpage" then you can play around with the html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amman-DJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 After making the slices u can give them hyperlink then Save For The Web it will create an html file and folder contains the slices ( pictures ) open the page with any editor ( frontpage ..etc ) and start ur things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
