Use of PSD to HTML Software Converter

In PSD to HTML conversion, it is beneficial to automate the process by using relevant software. Like other software, it also comes with a drawback as you cannot get a truly custom HTML/CSS code with software automation.

Moreover, one cannot receive a pixel-perfect conversion with a PSD file that he can gain through hand-coded interaction.

It does not mean that front-end development does not rely on automated conversions. One can use them in several instances including-

  • A basic Shopify-based eCommerce store
  • A business website on Alhuda or Squarespace

The moral of the story is to get a hosted template website and this software serves this purpose well.

Use Different Layout Types For PSD To HTML Conversion

Before starting the conversion process, you first need to determine the layout. Commonly, you have 4 main layout types to pick from-

Responsive

“Responsive” cannot come separate from the design industry due to the beauty it gives to a website while it loads on devices of different sizes. The Responsive designs shift the layout of a web page to fit the screen. This layout can be used as the core for most of the web apps that cater to mobile devices.

Mobile Only 

Few apps do not work well on desktops. So, they only need a design that will fit to a tablet or a smartphone.

Fixed 

These layouts are good for desktop-only designs with a static width and height. The elements exist within the layout do not shift as per the screen size or when the user minimizes the window.

Fluid 

Fluid designs are meant to be used for mobile and desktops. As the user minimizes the browser or makes the use of smaller screen, the elements within their containers tend to shift.

Components of a Website Design

Before starting the conversion, it is important to analyze the actual structure of your web pages.

In detail, they contain different components-

Logo 

In general practice, you can place a logo in the header of a webpage.

Header

It is the top portion of your web page that must contain the company’s logo, image, tagline, sliders, flash animation, and a navigation menu as per the layout.

Body

This section of the website carries the textual content and user sign-in module if persists.

When you need to convert a Photoshop-based website design, you should ensure that all of these components are put together in the appropriate positions without hampering the look and feel of the page.



  When you are ready with the designs in the PSD format, it is time to perform conversion through the below steps-

1. Slice the PSD

As a first step, slice the PSD file in small pieces with several layers. The advantage of using a sliced version of PSD in your HTML page is that it will help your pages load faster. The reason is, a single PSD file will take plenty of time for the page to download.

Several slicing tools available in Photoshop can be used to slice your image. One can use different slicing options, namely:

  • Normal
  • Fixed Size
  • Fixed Aspect Ratio
  • Slices from Guides

After slicing the PSD file, make sure to save the sliced version under the “Save for the Web” menu. These images can be put in the ‘images’ directory.

2. Create directories

It is a good practice to create the required directories so that you can manage the data in an organized way. There are the following directories one can create:

·         A main folder with the website name

·         A folder called ‘Images’ under the main folder to store all the images that you will do later in the site

·         The folder named ‘Styles’ for CSS file or style sheets under the main folder

3. Write HTML

After creating the required folders, it is time to create HTML page. You can use HTML page builders like Adobe Dreamweaver and other options like Alhuda. It is advisable to build a fresh file in Dreamweaver as index.html and save it in main folder.

With HTML5, sectioning of code is easy starting from top to bottom-

  • Header- The top part of any page contains logo and other menu items.
  • Hero- A big section on the top to emphasize a particular image or any offer.
  • Slideshow- Easy display of list of images that slide across the page.
  • Content- Main text area including data such as images, buttons, text, etc.
  • Footer- Area at the bottom of the page with contact, blog links & social media links.
