Description Slicing web templates

In this tutorial, you will learn how to slice a web template in Adobe Photoshop and save them as a webpage, ready to edit in Dreamweaver or web designer/editor of your choice.

Please wait for it to load as it is a 1.33mb file.

Feel free to ask me if there is something you do not understand. However, please note I will not help you with coding your website or anything to do with your web editor. I, personally, use Dreamweaver, and my knowledge of it is limited, and I don't like to give false/un-tested advice. I will only help you in regards to this tutorial, and this tutorial only. I will, however, at a later stage, be posting techniques and things you can use in your webpages, but that will come later.

This tutorial is made in Adobe Photoshop CS3, and the screenshots are also from CS3, however, I believe CS2's method is the same, I have not tried it in other versions.

Can you still make a hover for buttons?

Talei In reply to Violet-Grubs [2011-04-16 19:02:52 +0000 UTC]

Yes. This is just for slicing the template. You can edit the HTML and add javascript or whatever you like to switch images. Or create the button separatley, use the button as a bg image, textless, and add text and hover as usual with HTML. I slice templates and then edit them as opposed to coding them in notepad from scratch.

Your tutorial is very easy to understand, Nice! :thumbup:

As for me, I'm doing it by the old way. guidelines, select, copy, paste, because in this way, we can use the "Save for Web" option. I know the image's quality will deteriorate a bit, but you can save your web space, bandwidth, and faster loading.

Talei In reply to Shin-Senpuu [2008-09-10 21:37:00 +0000 UTC]

You choose "save for web and devices" to save anyways and choose your file type and settings there. Also, that means putting the slices together yourself, which most people don't understand how to do. But if you've got the knowledge, then that doesn't matter. Though that method takes a lot longer. XD But personal choice really. ^^ This tut was requested by ~raestarize , though. ^^
