Hello, I am trying to build a website, and I want to know if it is possible to make all my web pages in photoshop (even the text), save it as an html and upload it in dreamweaver. So I will pretty much only be using dreamweaver to link my pages and upload my website. Thanks.
There's a program called SiteGrinder that will allow you to do that, but otherwise you can't do that.
I HIGHLY reccomend that any text used on your website is real text. If you wish for your website to appear in google then you need real text as google indexes your page and reads your text to find keywords and without real text you are running the risk of not being found on google. My friend who is a just starting out in webdesign makes his page in photoshop then saves it as a low res png and just dumps that into dreamweaver and centres it, and sets the background to black then has that as the page which is VERY BAD practise. There are websites online that you simply enter your information into and renders you a webpage for free and will even host it for you all for free, just try searching it on google. If you need any web design help just pm me with any questions
Agreed. One thing the photoshopper should watch out for is that the user's OS and browser controls how that font looks. Usually people complain that the text looks more jagged on the web site than it did in PS. Oh well... if people want soft letters on the web they can go use Safari. Lawlz.
I hope this site will help you more clearly as it is easy to understand and implement upon............... Here's the site link http://www.Tutorial9.com
Thank you so much jitena4u2005. Absolutely the site can help everyone including myself. Please continue them coming.
If you need it quick you can create the whole site in photoshop exactly how you want it to look and the best and easiest way to get a site live without learning html or php is to get someone to code it for you (turn it into html or php) If you use software to try turn the photoshop doc to html you will have problems with the formatting. You will be there for hrs and hr trying to work it out.
There is another easy way out if your not fussed about real text. Save the whole site as a web friendly jpeg. Chuck it into fireworks, chop it up into sections making sure any links are sectioned off on there own, then turn the box slice into a link. Export this and it will code it for you as a html doc, drop this in dreamweaver, bit of FTP bobs your uncle. and wont take too long to load on the net. This is cheating and highly unprofessional unles its for a prototype to show a client but have fun...
hmm.. problem with slicing a website template in photoshop is that it creates tables in the index page when you export the files.. doesn anyone have any tricks to overcome this? tables are rather old-fashioned way of creating websites nowadays
Photoshop is not a web coding program. It's an image editor who happens to have some rudimentary ability to export some nasty tag-soup "HTML" representing an image. The way around it: hire a coder. I read about this one guy, you know, he made his car make coffee (seriously). But, a coffee machine just makes more sense.
