hi i'm a bit of a newb, and i am practising and trying to learn web design. I am trying to make an ebay template, so i downloaded a free web template to practice on I opened a psd file in photoshop and made various changes to the lay out and images, then saved as psd. Next i opened the psd in image ready and saved for the web, this created a index.html and images I then uploaded to my ftp via dreamweaver When i visit my domain i can see the template but it is off centre, it all the way to the left leaving a big gap on the right. Next i copied the code from dreamweaver and posted it into ebay turbolister, and turbolister picked it up fine, i was able to do a test listing and its looked ok on ebay although a little big. So my problems are these, in turbolisters design view panel the template looks all distorted as if the slices are not joined back together properly, lots of gaps but if you look in the preview panel it looks ok. i need it to look ok in the design view panel as you can easily edit text in there. 2nd problem is i think sizing and position... how do i centre the web template? as i said its all to the left. What sort of page size should i use ... thanks
Your problem is that you should not just publish something after you sliced it from PSD. You must make the codes and such valid using CSS for style and placements, you need to learn more of HTML to actually be able to code a good PSD template. It isnt just a simple task of slicing the images. You wont have the problem if you use CSS. Make it a defined placment and center it all.
