how to convert .psd design into html ?

Jul 30, 2012 8:15 AM

Is there any easier way to convert .psd design into html/css ? I do not have dreamviewer and doing everything in html/css from scratch for a design in .psd is a very time consuming process.

 

Is  there any easier way to do that ?

    Not really. It's never a good idea to consider the actual web page creation as an afterthought to the graphical design. In fact many times it's just simpler to start the web page as such and only add graphical fancy if and when needed selectively. Anyway, there are a few sites that offer PSD to HTML conversion, either automatic or as a paid service, but it will never be perfect. It's the same why a CSS or HTML file created using Save for Web always was and at best always can be a crude start. And in light of all the above, of course PS (or Illustrator or InDesign) are not web design tools, not even for the graphical aspects. Rather spend your time with Muse, Fireworks, Edge, Dreamweaver or one of the gigazillion free tools out there more suitably aimed at web stuff than PS ever could...

    My company makes a Photoshop plugin called SiteGrinder which converts Photoshop designs into working web sites. But as Mylenium pointed out, it still is not something you can do as an afterthought. SiteGrinder uses layernames to help identify roles for elements on the page and layercomps for the pages, but there is still planning and preparation that will needed to be undertaken, especially for advanced features like footers, columns, accordions and the like.
