Does anyone here know how to slice and code a .psd? If so please pm me I need help slicing and coding a template for a website. PM me how much you will charge to slice and code this template and I will go with the lowest bidder. I just need it sliced and so that the links will work home, buy neopoints, faq, contact and about us. Everything else I can do on my own.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you going with the lowest bidder? (Remember the old saying "you get what you pay for" - it's proven to be true on more occasions than Carter has little liver pills or a person can shake a fist at.) And yes, I know how to do it, but I typically avoid listings that specifically say "while we understand how good you are, and feel you may be perfect for the job, we can't afford to pay you because we {fill in the blank}." Am I safe in assuming you already have the HTML for this done? (If the answer is yes, that's probably a mistake.) Something I've found to be very helpful is to lift (rather than splice) only the images I need to use, modifying them as needed (such as applying transparencies or optimizing the lifted image layer for use as a Web graphic), and then letting CSS handle the background colors if the .psd mockup has a lot of common colors. Please bear in mind that there is a lot more to Web site design than creating a design in Photoshop and slicing it into HTML/CSS. You also have to ensure that the site works and renders properly in all four of the major rendering engines (Trident, Gecko, Presto, and KHTML/WebKit, which translate roughly into IE, Netscape 6+/Firefox/Mozilla, Opera, and Konqueror + Safari), is usable to the site's visitors (especially dialup users such as myself) and is accessible (running the site through Bobby does not count) to people using screen readers, mobile devices like cell phones and PDAs, and individuals who disable images to improve the pages' download times (dialup users are most often likely to do this). Please keep these things in mind when making your hiring decisions. The last thing I'd want to see on a Web site is a poor work product because the site's owner put price (in this case, the lowest bidder) before quality, especially (though this is not the only reason) because it will cost more to fix later on down the road (and can dramatically increase the cost of an entire site-wide redesign in the future, regardless of what the rate of inflation is or the cost of living in your area at the time of the redesign).
But do you want to learn how to do it or do you want to hire someone to do it for you? If you want to learn, there are lots of tutorials online. I'd recommend you SlicingGuide (google it)
Sometimes taking the time to learn something (whether at all or properly) just isn't practical in a business sense. I'm all for self-learning (that's how I learned), but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and find someone who can get the results you need now. When finding someone to deliver those results, you have to know that the person who you intend to hire isn't going to rip you off. Unfortunately for many, this is much easier said than done.
