I'm still new into designing websites, and I still don't know how to convert to CSS (X)HTML. so I want you to answer a few questions for me. 1)what size should the website be? I mean when I start to design any website, what is the standard size to start off in photoshop? 2) How much this design, would be worth(in USD), just as-is with no coding just the .PSD file? I ask because I'm trying to get into designing one page layouts and selling them as .PSD and I need some feedback before I really get in it. -Thank You-
hey! That looks really good. I like the amount of space in it, not too cluttered. Which is very good! Width wise, well it really depends. I would make the width of your two boxes horizontally (red and black) somewhere between 800 (small) and 1000 (large) wide. I normally make a document in PS 1100 wide and then put the content in the middle, that way you can see what the background looks like. As for price, not really sure, you could always put it on the sales forum on this site and see what you can get. Hope this helps!
1. For widths you must consider different monitor sizes. For example old monitors are set at a resolution of 800x600 meaning they are 800px wide. Modern monitors can be as wide as 1900px. So say you were to design a page at 1000px remember a user who only has a 800px would have to scroll horizontally to see 200px of your page. Horizontal scrolling can be considered as a negative point when visiting a web page. But in contrast if you design a page with only 800px width, then it might look very skinny on larger monitors. So you must decide what is best for your page and your target audience. However in web design you can also design fluid layouts which expand and contract depending on the monitor size, however you must allow for this in your design, meaning it must be feasible as with some designs it might not be possible. Fluid designs would set a percentage as a width for elements, with the amount it percent relating to the browser window, e.g 100% width would fill up 100% of an 800px and a 1900px monitor. 2. Currently you can't expect to much for your designs, although it is a good start and as you repeat this process you will begin to develop professional designs which can be sold. It may also allow you to gain a job as a graphic designer of some sort. To be able to convert your layout into CSS and XHTML you must just get a basic grasp of designing web pages, then you learn how elements work and you can begin to create layouts which fit your design. So begin to design a few basic pages as a test, they don't have to use pictures, they can just use simple background colours, but learn how to make things appear where you want on the page.
nice for the first design. the navbar text should be vertical aligned to the middle. it looks to empty try 2 fill it up.
Nice design. But i think there is too much free space among the menu and the boxes. The price is always depends on your skills. You just start so dont expect too much. Learn and improve and you should earning better!
