Question about web design

[Necro]

I would like to create a new design to my website and I found this tutorial: http://www.grafpedia.com/tutorials/create-web-hosting-layout
I've successfully created the .psd file... and now what? Am i supposed to know the CSS language?

Yes, from the psd file you should now be able to slice into valid xhtml/css.

The tutorial only shows you how to design the template not build it.

w3 schools will teach you everything you need.

HTML Dog is an invaluable resource, as well.

As Anna mentions above you should be able to learn xhtml/css from them websites to go on and build the psd file into a webpage.

Photoshop has inbuilt tools to help you build a webpage template from your design.

I wouldn't advise doing it through photoshop as it gives you code that you don't really want/need and its all table based. Also every slice you do becomes an image!

If you want to get into web design then you should learn to code xhtml/css by hand not through photoshops built in slicing tool!

Thanks for your replies. I'll start learning xhtml/css language.

Yes, you must slice up the image, code the html and CSS.

I've also heard about these schools from a friend before. I learned that these school are really good in teaching CSS.

Also, if you're pressed for time, there are many online services that will code your site for you. Or ask a local webdesigner to do it for you, shouldn't cost much.

Do you have an idea on any programming language?
