Designing a page starts with the photoshop where client’s inputs are given a shape. After making proper modifications and receiving green signal from the clients, the designers job is to convert the Photoshop’s PSD file into a live webpage using HTML, Java and other coding languages. Most of the designers uses HTML as it is easy, reliable and faster than other coding language. Today, HTML5 is used as the latest standard of HTML that is more responsive than other languages used in its category.

b)Use Smart Objects often incase your PSD template causes any error. You can use the Smart Object tag to refer the content you have exported. All the images and folders that you have exported will be converted hundred percent.

  • Website Structure and Grid: Proper knowledge of structure and grid makes the job of a designer easy to navigate and synchronize the elements.
  • Work accordingly Layers: Photoshop and HTML5 runs conjointly with all the web figures and content in the output. Take care of the following things:

b) Put common names of the elements that you are using in the coding

c) There shouldn’t be any empty layers. It avoids the obstruction in exporting.

d) All the images layers shape is rectangular, so don’t get confuse with them.

  • Apply layers tags: Use the layers tags to modify the elements to their respective objects i.e skip, image, link, paragraph, object, form, input and other tags.
  • Organize the PSD file: It makes the graphical layer, section counts and other things easier for a designer to find and decrease the time consumed in conversion.
