Hello, I am a complete newbie in web designing stuff, so don't laugh at my questions. My question is how to generate the html page along with it's CSS from a .psd template? I have read many forum posts on this issue, but none of the answers helped me in this regard. Thanks in anticipation.
1) Slice the PSD in Photoshop and export the slices 2) Open Dreamweaver, notepad or another HTML editor 3) Create a page with HTML and make a stylesheet with CSS (2 seperate files) 4) The image slices you exported from Photoshop are included via <img> tags in HTML and via "background:" declarations in CSS You have a long way to go yet, but you can definitely learn if you're determined. I'd recommend googling "html tutorials" and "css tutorials". After reading a few of those, you'll have the basics. Then you can tinker with the languages yourself and learn more advanced techniques from more tutorials. I've been doing HTML/CSS for about 7 years now and I still learn new techniques all the time so don't expect to be a CSS master in a couple weekends Hope it helps.
Don't slice the .psd file. Just lift the layers you need to use (the actual graphics), place them into their own files and save them as separate images after cleaning them up and optimizing them for the Web. I strongly suggest you learn HTML and CSS. Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way With HTML and CSS by Ian Lloyd is a very good way to learn (I always advocate reading books instead of trusting online tutorials because the books are subjected to a rigorous editorial and review process before even seeing the light of day, whereas anyone can write a "tutorial" and slap it onto a Web page).
You should know how to work with html first of all. I am in this web field but still i get some problems while slicing. Slicing is a complicate thing, but best of luck.
Yup. Just copy the layer and paste it into a new file. That's what I mean by "lifting" (like "lifting a fingerprint") a layer.
