How to Convert PSD Into HTML - Host Discussion Blog

alexissamantha · 07-16-2009, 10:46 PM

There are three main options to solve this problem:

1) Code it yourself,

2) Use automated tools, and

3) Hire a provider of PSD-to-HTML/CSS conversion services.

And here comes another question: Which option is the best?

In fact, there is no all-purpose choice to suit every situation. Really, people and circumstances are different.

To convert yourself or not yourself - Is that a question?

Some of my friends-designers agree with marketing guru Tom Peters: nowadays design is one of the most essential competitive differences that can set products (and websites) apart from other commoditized rivals. A designer is becoming a central figure in website success.

Others say that web designers should know not only the color theory or graphic techniques but also PSD slicing, HTML coding, content writing, SEO, and marketing. Only in this case designers will create something really effective in the present-day Internet.

For me every website element should be well-designed: website concept, its structure, graphics, layout, HTML/CSS markup, and content. The deeper designers know respective phases and website development operations the better, because she/he can see and control the process in whole. But it doesn't mean that designers should do all the work themselves.

If you can make a quality design on Photoshop, most likely you will be able to generate the HTML as well. I guess only graphical designers without web experience would feel the problem discussed above.

Design is important, but content and SEO is more important these days.

If you are a skilled designer and a master of photoshop I would design it yourself and use an automated service to convert to css/html

I dont recommend using automated tools. You can easily slice the design and put them up with basic css and html knowledge.

It requires time and knowledge to be done. The same for converting specification to software product for programmer. No automated tool could do it.

1st tips is don't use any HTML converter tool for this issue. Manually code it. If you know HTML its best or hire another person who know HTML and CSS. Other way is some website provide this service you can take this option.
