hi, i need some help,im pretty good in designing landing pags, but it turns out to be only on a psd.Can anyone convert it to html, i can offer my services to you,also any prices or offers, anything is welcome
 


Do you have Photoshop/image ready? You can cut a psd into sections with image ready then export it and it will create all the html for you. Just run some google searches on it, cant remember the exact process without checking in photoshop.

From memory you can export to tables or css, although the css is all absolutely positioned so its not very maintaintable. Fine for whipping up a landing page though.

Cheers
 
Please, please if you are doing any Photoshop work for customer, do not export it with Photoshop's built-in engine. Few things: 1) table layout is sooo 90s and it's so fucking hard to fix if something brokes don't.. did I mention it doesn't scale unless you plan it real good and 2) absolute positioning.. well, that doesn't work well either in many cases.

Just use PS's slice tool to isolate all the parts you need like backgrounds etc. and then whip up a nice and fast loading div & css layout. It doesn't take much time but when you realize how it should be done, those layouts can scretch, bend, scale, minimize and basically work in every browser.

Sorry for the rant.. I have had my share of fixed table layouts in this life..
 
I converted these sites from Photoshop PSD to XHTML.

To mention a couple...

True a straight export from photoshop isn't ideal but its more of a matter of knowing how to correctly slice a photoshop file and knowing what kind of post-work you need to do to the code as well as the image exports. The goal is not to just be a bunch of panels with background images.

I came here to say the exact same thing. There are so many awful websites because of this that don't come anywhere near validation :(

Later versions of Photoshop allow for CSS/Div/etc in the export option, its no longer restricted to just tables. Also once exported you can then easily modify the CSS code to be more 'fluid' and to replace blank portions of the site with more dynamic content (or redo graphics in small areas that would benefit better from a repeating graphci rather than an image slice).


2) absolute positioning.. well, that doesn't work well either in many cases.

Easily adjusted. But I guess its also easily said that if you could easily adjust the output by PS... then you should be able to do it from scratch as well.
