Using photoshop to design layouts

Monday September 8, 2008

Sometimes, I get so caught up in teaching people how to build websites, that I forget to talk about how you might figure out a design to build. One of the popular tools for prototyping is Photoshop. I use a combination of Photoshop and Fireworks to build my designs. I use Photoshop for the initial designs and all graphics, then I use Fireworks to slice up the page into graphical and HTML elements. Finally, I move into Dreamweaver to get the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript just right. Then today, I found this article on BulletProofBox that I thought was really helpful: 9 Essential Photoshop Web Design Tutorials. It starts out with some templates in Photoshop (including an interesting portfolio one) and moves on to tutorials explaining how to use Photoshop for Web design. Nice!

Is there and advantage to slicing up the design in Firworks instead of Photoshop, or is it just a personal preference?

Honestly, I don’t think there’s that much difference now. It’s just that when I started that workflow, Photoshop didn’t have any way to slice images and connect with Dreamweaver or another HTML editor. Now that you mention it, that’s a good point. I think I’ll see if I need Fireworks when CS4 comes out (late September, yay!).

What about Illustrator? Isn’t it easier to create a layout since it is a vector program? I’ve been using the GIMP for quite awhile and its a pain sometimes when changes are needed. What are your opinions?

I use Photoshop as well as Illustrator. I think it depends on what you would like to do with your design. I am never satisfied with the lines and forms photoshop does. Since everything is required to look kind of “web 2.0? I started using Illustrator even more because I seem to get quicker results there.

You can also use services like psd2html.com to take your Photoshop files for you and do all the html and slicing for you.

Blogging has surely become a very innovative way for friends to be up-to-date regarding another friend’s life. Blogs allow people to share their experiences and as well their points of view over the Internet. This has also become a very effective tool for consumers to check on the opinions of other consumers about a certain product that they are checking out in the market. The reviews allow consumers to turn into smart consumers by providing information that will be able to help them decipher if the quality of the product would be worth what you will be spending for it.

Blogging can be fun. However, there is a way for you to earn from blogging. There are people who now make use of blogs to generate income for themselves. If you are an avid blogger and would like to make an extra buck out of what you do for fun, this might be the thing for you. But just how exactly will you make money from your blog?

There are several ways for you to make blogging profit from your already existing blog. And here are tips that will be able to help you earn good profit from your hobby.

First, you can look for companies that hire bloggers. Like movie stars endorsing a product on television, bloggers like you can be paid to write something related to the company or their services or products. Your blog post will help generate audience awareness for the product and as well as the company. In turn, this can generate prospective sales.

Affiliate marketing is the second method that might help boost your blogging profit generation. This method is one of the most commonly used to generate profit from blogs. This is also deemed as one of the most effective methods to make money with blogs. What you need to do is to sign up for marketing websites. From there, you will be able to get links of products that are waiting to be promoted. You can then write something about these products. In your blog post, post the link from the marketing website. When a potential customer reads your blog and clicks on the link, the marketing website you are affiliated with will track this as a lead for the company and a “sale” for you.

Of course, the most obvious but least practiced tip that you can do is to make sure what you write is interesting enough. This is important to make sure that a lot of people are attracted to your blog. When you attract more readers, then you attract more potential blogging profit. So make sure that you keep your content interesting to ensure good blogging profit.

WordPress is a free tool which allows anyone for writing online and to publish a wordpress software-based blog free of charge and reachable to every single person.

The most important 3 features that Blogger doesn’t support.

1. A Pinging feature is provided to you by which wordpress automatically pings all the RSS and blog feed directories each time you update or make a new post. It’s a very great feature if you want your blog to get a lot of traffic right away. It is the quickest way to develop backlinks to your blog automatically.

If you build a regular site, think how long it will get to index it in the search engines as well as get backlinks to improve your listings, and then start getting traffic. A tool like Wordpress can do all that “grunge” work for you very easily.

2. Wordpress Categories are the most effective way to improve the structure of your site for both human visitors and for the search engines bot.

Let’s assume the topic of your website is Wallpapers. You could create a Category for Car wallpapers, one for Nature wallpapers, and one for Cool wallpapers. When you add a posts to your blog, you can select which of your categories does the post belongs to. Now your blog will archive your past posts not only by their month and date same as Blogger does. But also by the Category.

So when you have a guests on your blog who is particularly interested in Car wallpapers, is will be easy for them to find all your posts on car wallpapers. Use of the categories can makes it very easy and will save valuable time of your visitors.

Categories are very search engine friendly, when you use categories in your blog, there is a link on every one of your pages to your categories. By using the Category feature, you will ultimately have hundreds of pages on your site with links to car wallpapers, nature wallpapers and cool wallpapers. All of those backlinks to those keywords can help you to get higher in search engine rankings.

3. You can easily create an RSS feed for each of your categories. It means every time you post a new article to your blog, it will ping the Blog / RSS directories for every feed!

Think that if you put up a new page on a regular website and even if the search engines find your new page right away, it might take a month or two before it actually gets indexed and starts getting traffic. It might be a long time before it enjoys a first page position for its keywords.

It’s almost superb how easily you could do all this with a well-organized blogging tool like Wordpress!
