    Its little bit complected, you have to learn u cant do that within 1 day. there is many tutorial site in the internet Just google it and learn. You can Design with photo shop but u can't code the website with PS, For coding you have to learn HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP etc.

    There are plenty of tutorials online that you can find just by googling, but then you'd need to learn on how to slice it up and make it a real template.

    Hello, laeeqhumam.

    PhotoShop is a drawing program. With it you can make pictures of every kind of page you will have in your Web site. This pictures are usually called "templates". Then you have to slice them to make the real pages. Here is the explanation of how to make this slicing:

    How to slice a template

    Best wishes.

    I may not add much as my friends around here
    but there is 2 ways to learn it
    1 way is paid tutorials

    lynda.com
    is the best in my opinion

    and the other is after u use the slice tools
    from TechnoGeek post u should learn the coding language
    and for the basics I would like to suggest html
    u can learn it in a free way with
    w3schools.com

    I hope that will help u

    If you just slice a template, it ends up in tables, which is the worst thing for a designer

    Try Learning HTML/CSS, then create a template in photoshop, then slice it up, get all the images, and code it in

    Yes you can design any kind of website with Photoshop, but that will be PSD file, then you have to slice it and code it into XHTML/CSS or any o ther scripting platform like Joomla, wordpress or Drupal. Other than photoshop you can use Gimp and Adobe Fireworks as well.

    Yes you can use the photoshop for designing the site because in photoshop is only used to create the tempaltes in PSD format which is sliced/converted into html/css by the designer!!!

    When you're putting together a design in photoshop, do you work to any particular layout size?

    To design websites that "work" using Photoshop you must know XHTML / CSS to properly code them - it's not hard to learn and if you gain the skill - it will give you more power than any other tool out there.

    As everyone said there are plenty of tutorials on the web.
