HTML - Converting Page Design Images To Html: What Approach Would You Take?
I'm in charge of doing the coding for a site that's been designed by a graphic designer with no knowledge of code. I like his designs, and the client wants me to make the site look exactly like them. They're .psd files representing each page. He sent me almost all of the images, but not the background and not certain key decorations (the guitar pics). I told him I needed the background, but his hard drive died (without being backed up) before he could send it to me. He doesn't seem to remember what font he used either.
In light of all that, and the fact that the client wanted to get a basic version of the site up asap, I just converted the PSD's to JPEG's, uploaded them as whole pages, and used div's and image maps to add links and additional content. But that is obviously not a long-term solution. In fact, it's causing browser compatibility issues right now. And it's not accessible . . . etc. So I need to replicate these page design images using HTML or XHTML, and CSS. I can probably find a similar background and font to work with, but I just don't know where to begin. I haven't worked with CSS in years, but it looks like I'd probably need to use it. I'm not asking anyone to do my job for me. I'm just wondering how you would approach this task. Does anyone have time to look at the images and point me in the right direction? Here's the embarrassingly incomplete site: http://www.musicisrevolution.com The navigation works with Safari and Firefox. I'm also attaching one of the images so that it'll be clear what I'm talking about. Similar TutorialsHello People, I have 5 images that i want to display one by one after regular interval's of time . I dont know how to do this in HTML .Can you please help me. Thanks in advance, Kluserner I am building a site that has a page with some bullet points, at the end of each point will be a link saying more info, the more info will be scanned in documents which I have had to make 750px wide so they are still readable, The best way I can see to do this is when the more information link is clicked the scanned document relating to the point will open in a new window with just this image only on the page. Sadly the scanned images cant be typed up as text as it is the actual scanned document that needs to be seen. Just interested in anyback in case there is a better way of doing this.

Thanks and Regards, ceenuu2002@gmail.com Hey, all. New user here, but you looked like the friendliest bunch of people discussing web dev. Here's a simple question (I hope): I want to query the Navy's public site for moon cycle/period information from within my own code. There's a page (here) that provides a form to get what I want per day per location. But when I pull out the form info from that page source and place it in my own page, the form doesn't work. Is this a workable approach? An alternative would be to use another form on the same site (here) that results in a table of info for a whole year's worth of data. I could go either way as parsing either table is pretty straightforward for me. Since the forms are similar, it seems like getting on of those forms to work at all is the crucial issue, or is there another way to query data on the net like that? Thanks in advance, Burt Hello, wondering if someone can help me on the following: I am trying to convert a list of links over 350 collected over the years into html. The data is in text in the following format, <link title> "/" <actual http link> "/" <description> I could type each link into html but there is got to be a way to do it automatically.. since it is already formated in a text file with a clearly defined delimiter. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance for any ideas. Hello everyone, Nice to join a forum for the first time and hopefully this will add extra help when I'm working on my development projects. I have a web site of my own using HTML transitional, but am planning to go from HTML to XHTML strict in the near future. Since the site holds over 3500 pages, it would not be feasible to upgrade every single page. Is there a free program or a web service that can do that job? I'm converting my webpages from a .html file to a .shtml file because I'm using SSI in the page. Now, can I just change the file type or do I have to do other stuff to the file? Thanks Hi there, I have a form where people submit information to a site through a form; some people reference outside websites, but the links for them aren't clickable (no <a href... tag), just text so people would have to copy and paste it to use it. Is it possible to somehow check a submission for links and then add in the <a> tags if there are any? (without having to manually do it each time). Thanks for any help in advance! Gentlemen: I am new to both Html & Xhtml. Can anyone recommend a freeware editor for Xhtml & a conversion tool for Html to Xhtml? hi, i was asked to design a web page in arabic, and i dont have any idea how to do so, i use wampserver (php).. any ideas??!! I am fairly new to web design and was wondering what some of the techniques are to make a page appear to have more on it then it really does. For example, how do you make it appear as if the page contains very little white space? is it best to use a pattern in the background? Is there a way to crop the page to make it smaller? Me and a buddy of mine currently are starting a company; Bad Apple Productions. We intend on bringing our dreams to the world. To give the world decent games for free.. of course with an item mall. He is the only game coder, and I am the only website dev.. an amatuer at that. I can do HTML, I blow at CSS.. and that's it. He learned HTML when he was.. 11.. and 12 yrs later.. well yea. Please, any help would be appreciated. We will be starting our first project soon. I know CSS is useful for many many things. But I am trying to optimize my website as i'm designing, that way I don't have a giant project once i'm done. Here is my question: What would have a faster load time: Code: <html> <head> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen> <title></title> </head> <body> <div id=bold>Hello!</div> </body> </html> or: Code: <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <b>Hello!</b> </body> </html> Hi, I need to design a html dashboard in table exactly same as the attached image.

Hi there I got a little problem with my website http://www.gone-surfing.com ; the thing is that I would like to have the waveforecast on the right side of the site, where there is currently only an empty black space. And I am simply wondering how this can be done? In a way which enables the waveforecast to progress downwards out there, without pushing the other tables / content downwards. Hope some clever minds can help me out here. Any suggestions? PS! I would like to keep the design like this, it would be a bit too much work changing the whole design due to my lack of webdesign skills. The source code is available here @ gone-surfing.com/index.html A big thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. All the best, Alex Hi, basically i want to open an online clothing store via bigcartel. If i buy a site they said i can add my own html to change the layout etc. I don't know if it would be best to hire someone, or if i would be able to do it myself. I don't know anything about html etc, are there any websites that i can design a website on and get the code? I want something simple, similar to this http://olivemanna.com/ Thank you! I have made a rigid non repeated background image on a webpage I am designing using html and css code. Above the image is a title of the page which is "About Us". I want the "About us" to be rigid and non moving and to stick with the background image while the rest of the text on the page will be free scrolling. What code should I use to accomplish this. Thank you in advance. |
