2. A website is the best tool for online business
marketing. Creating a website is not an easy
job. PSD to HTML conversion is an important
part in every website development. Here I am
explaining the conversion of PSD file into
HTML and then to wordpress in simple 6
steps. If you are developing a wordpress
website, you should have good knowledge in
CSS, HTML and php.
3. 1. Get Ready for the PSD to HTML
Conversion
• Before starting the conversion first you should
have to create an image, js and css folders for
images, JavaScript, and CSS respectively inside
your website directory.
• To convert a PSD file to HTML you need to
open it in Photoshop or any other image
editor, to measure distance, colour, font etc.
4. 2. Slicing PSD file
In this step we will export the images to be
used from the PSD file. Select the slice tool
from the toolbar. Click and drag to select the
desired area to be sliced. As an example we
are slicing the logo in the PSD file. Now right
click on the sliced part and rename it as
"logo". Slice down all the possible images and
rename each slice for further convenience.
5.
6. Now we have sliced down all the images part.
To export the sliced images, Go to File menu >
Save for Web & Devices or simply
Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S. Make sure that images type
is set to jpg or png (for transparent
background) and click save.
7.
8. It will open up another window. Select our
directory folder as save in location, again
make sure that save as type “image only” and
also select “all user slices” in slices option
then click save. Now all sliced images will
appear in images folder inside our website
directory.
9.
10. 3. PSD to HTML and CSS
In this step we start our coding to convert a PSD to
HTML. For that open up Dreamweaver or other
html editor tools (I am using Dreamweaver). Create
a new HTML page by clicking file -> New -> Blank
page -> HTML then click create. It will open up a
code editing page. Rename the title “untitled
document” to our project name. Create a css file
(Cascading Style Sheet) by clicking file -> New ->
Blank page -> css then click create. Save that file in
our css folder which we have already created in our
website directory earlier. By adding the following
code will integrate our css into html page.
11. <link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
An ideal website layout will contain four basic
parts which is Header, Main content area,
Sidebar and Footer. Let’s start coding header
section. The webpage layout has 960px fixed
width; we are making a wrapper div to wrap
all our layout elements. We also have to place
the wrapper div in the center of the screen, so
we are adding following codes to css file. That
also makes header, content, and sidebar and
footer divs.
12.
13.
14. We only created the css elements to style up website and we will add more codes to
css later.
15. 4. Break index.html to wordpress
theme core files
Before breaking index.html to wordpress, you must
know something about wordpress theme files &
developments.
A normal Wordpress theme contain many PHP files
such as archive.php, category.php, search.php,
404.php, Image.php, comments.php, Header.php,
index.php Footer.php, Sidebar.php, page.php,
single.php. Out of these, index.php, style.css and
functions.php are the essential files for wordpress
theme.
16. • Archive.php: Used when a category, author, or
date is queried. This Note that this template will
be overridden by category.php, author.php, and
date.php for their respective query types.
• Category.php: This template contains the code to
display categories. It will show the corresponding
categories of a post when it is viewed.
• Search.php: This template is used to display the
search result of a query. The search function is
an inbuilt wordpress function. We don’t need to
do anything on it.
• 404.php: If you use the 404.php template in
your theme, it will display an error message,
when a page not found error occurs.
17. • Image.php: Image attachment template is
used when viewing a single image attachment.
• Comments.php: This file defines the comment
form for all pages and posts.
• Header.php: This will include all header
section of a website.
• Index.php: This is the main template file. I.e.,
it is the parent file of the template. It will
contain main body content.
• Footer.php: This is to display the footer
content of website.
18. • Sidebar.php: This template is used for website
sidebar structure.
• Page.php: This one is used for individual page
templates.
• Single.php: This file is used when a single post
is queried. For this and all other query
templates, index.php is used if the query
template is not present.
19. • Style.css: This is the main style sheet; it will
contain the rules or codes to styling the html
elements of the theme. That defines the main
structure and the style of the template.
• Now break up your index.html into index.php,
header.php, footer.php, sidebar.php and other
necessary feature files.
20.
21. 5. Integrate HTML & CSS to Wordpress
Index.php is the core template file. It will
contain whole website structure. So you have
to call header, sidebar & footer files using the
function get_ header(), get_sidebar() &
get_footer() respectively based on you
website layout.
22. Import all images to image folder inside your
wordpress file. Then copy your html styles to
style.css file.
23. 6. Add wordpress tag & functions
The last but the most important step in
wordpress conversion is adding wordpress
tags & functions to files.
There are so many inbuilt functions that can
be used to add all the basic functionalities to
the Wordpress theme. Just add Wordpress
inbuilt function tags to your theme file.
Wordpress will automatically work with it.
24. Now you finished your psd to wordpress theme
conversion. If you want to add additional
functionalities or you want to modify the existing
one then you can simply install wordpress plug-
ins or you can add code to function.php file.
