    Hi all,

    Its a week now since I've been searching for solid ways to design websites & logos but I am afraid all my efforts are getting into fool's errands.

    Would you friends please tell me how can a site be made with photoshop and it other potential capabilities of photoshop?

    I'd be very thankful to you if you could help me out with this!

    I don't think that it is possible to make a website with photoshop, probably you can only create a draft for its design. Maybe you should try some of the other Adobe product for web designing such as Dreamweaver.

    Dreamweaver is for coding. You can use Fireworks or Photoshop to design a website. If you google "web design photoshop" you can find tons of tutorials.

    You use Photoshop to design a mockup of the web layout. Photoshop is a graphic design/editing tool, if you want a web development tool, you will have to look into software like Dreamweaver. You use Photoshop to design graphics such as logo, banners, buttons etc.

    If you design an entire page layout in Photoshop, you will need to crop each graphic entity out as an image, this is known as slicing. Then, use a web designing software to put them and your page text content together. If you are experienced, you only need Photoshop to design the graphic and you may use notepad (notepad++) to write your code for the page =)

    Hi,
    using Photoshop you make website designs (logos, banners,background images, photos...) than you'll have to slice them and save them [save for web and devices] and you'll get folder with images....and you use those images for web coding (you will have to know: html, php, css...), the best in my opinions is Dreamweaver for coding.

    Photoshop is really a must in web designing. You can do designing here since it uses layer by layer objects.
    I hope this will help! :)

    The photoshop is for designing the website only, it does not export the design as html (website) but what you can do is to use the http://www.medialab.com/ (SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin) to export full working website!

    If you want to have a conducive layout of your website use a photoshop for it.
    So that you can create a template that suitable to your taste or your client taste.
    Like us web designers we use photoshop to create our layout you can visit our web site netmusketeer.com

    Man, it's really not that hard! 2 months ago I would not even imagine I could build a website. (with HTML and CSS). I did a quick search on youtube and luckily i found a great series to watch! This guy is building 2 fairly complex websites from scratch. I have built my own Design website(which you can see on my profile). I watched about 30 video tutorials from his channel. If you want to check it out write "createthenet dreamweaver cs5" in youtube.

    I am in no way related to him or affiliate. I just think he is a great man, and you'll see why I say that.

    Designing website would not complete without touching Photoshop. Even a basic logo need to be created in Photoshop.

    You need to create the base design in Photoshop, and then you would need to bring it into HTML/CSS! :)
