Coding a psd file?

    How difficult is it to code a psd file? I'm running a contest for a new website design but a lot of the designers tell me they rather not do the coding. I'm not sure what the steps involved are. Is this something anyone with basic html and photoshop knowledge can do?

    Thanks,
    -Paul

    You want to use photoshop to slice the image. after that, use CSS to fill up the website. You can slice and use the html photoshop makes, but it would be tables, and not proper CSS. I tend to use both because it makes of quicker work. anyway... check out these tutorials:

    Try the tool SiteGrinder. It doesn't output perfect code but it does a pretty decent job if you have the time to fix it's code after it's done.

    since when ? many novice designers actually design in photoshop, slice it out and use that as their site (obviously until they learn there's a much better way).

    Certain web designers are lazy. Don't generalize. And the lazy ones never get anywhere.
