Hi, Expert Opinion Needed! When i slice my psd web template and save it as html and images, it's usually creates html table with tr, td. Most of the experienced designers suggested that using div tag is better than html table i.e. tr,td. Which one is the best policy to web site designing? Thank you
don't use automated converting programs from PSD to HTML, the codes generated are very dirty. Thus, yes it will convert it into tables with lots of colspans and rowspans. I suggest using divs and css will do a very optimize code and works well easily when editing.
I perfectly suggest to learn coding HTML pages from scratch using DIV codes, not by slicing on photoshop and exporting to html pages. Another way is too hire front end developers who can turn your psd into functional web html pages. Goodluck! Cheers!
The only time I would use PhotoShop to generate HTML is if you need to show a client a concept. In this case, the markup doesn't matter because you're just showing them your ideas. For functional websites, learning to code HTML/CSS from scratch (using just notepad or text edit) is best.
I strongly recommend to use div base rather than table if you are doing a website, but still you can use table base of coding typically for EDM or the one use to send in email. So, Website = div/html5 + css/css3 EDM/email html = tables + inline css Hope this helps. Btw, i'm a front-end developer Best regards, alfieindesigns
