I have almost finished my Photoshop design of my new template im going to use for my hosting. Its all .PSD at the moment but there is a couple things I wasent sure about. 1 - I have put text in the design using Photoshop. Will dreamweaver pick up that its text and convert it or will I need to delete all the text and leave the space for me to type it back in again using Dreamweaver instead? 2 - Is there any recommended places to get my .PSD coded. Unless someone here has the knowledge to do so and wants to PM me a price? 3 - I cant actually think of anything else right now however im looking for any helpful tips about creating the design from Photoshop and eventually putting it into dreamweaver for coding? Here is the site design so far (Before its mentioned, yes this started as a 1 page template I downloaded and then I modified it and added to it aswell, Its good enough for now untill the hosting is up and running and I can create a Unique design) http://www.veraciousmedia.com/testsite/ Some of the pages I am just going to embed the various things like Client Login page, Support Console ect like most do using such programs such as WHMCS. (Although im actually going to try use OSTICKET instead)
This design is pretty good, but... 1 - No, DW can't recognize texts in a picture. You have to wipe them off in PS, and type again in DW. 2 - You could find many web designer from the web. You may also post in the trading forum in DP, you'll get tons of PMs. There's something wrong with my paypal account recently, otherwise I could do this for you. 3 - Visit w3schools, learn HTML/CSS. Btw: spend some time on PS too, it seems that you don't know how to use the slice tool. That's a very handy tool if you want your PSD file coded the right way.
Hello, I used to do this when I first started designing websites. After redesigning and exporting and relinking over and over for the same static page, I decided to start with a html template and work in reverse. But anyways thats a different story. Here are your answers. 1. I wish DW would recognize the text from PS, but its not going to happen. You have to slice the psd with this in mind. Once you export and edit the html, just make the slice image a <td> background and type your text over top. 2. It's not hard to do, and the fact is, you will do this more than once. So you should try it and learn it, it will be more beneficial in the long run. 3. One tip is: Be careful with slicing your psd, you have to make sure all of your slices touch, or you'll end up with a bunch of spacer.gif's. This makes it harder to edit in DW. Unless your a pro at this, you will end up changing your psd, then you will have to move or edit your slices, which results in a brand new DW conversion. Good luck!
First off you can't render a PSD file using HTML so that's one reason. The other is that if you load your background or images as slices they're supposed to load faster.If you're interested in doing it, check out any number of tutorials on turning your PSD files in to WordPress layouts and that should give you a fairly good idea on how it's done.
The Design is Great.... First hide the text/content area on the design and then slice the background area ... and place the bg images in the html and over it put the text content....
