Since you're using photoshop, you would first have to slice up your template using the slice tool. Then you could save for web, and make sure you select the option (on the dropdown list) "html and images". That will create the html for you, based on how you sliced up your template, and will save the pieces of images as well.

how do you exactly "slice?" do you just take every image and just do save as? that'll take a while

You don't have to slice every image if you don't want... I design my templates using th Macromedia Fireworks, and I presume that it has similiar export options like Photoshop... When you are exporting HTML you can include both sliced areas and areas without slices... It will save some of your time, but it can end up the way you don't like it... Remember that you can always do it manual...

I think it's FrontPage if you you want to build small site with no additional features, and it is better for starters. But it has a lots of bugs .Macromedia Dreamweaver offers a lot more and it has really user friendly environment... And it is not M$ product

the easyest thig i do for my layouts for my site is that i creat a large blend[the width larger then the length] and then i have my frames html codes and *BLEEP*. So then i upload my blend on like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and then i use my frame codes to creat a sick layout

what you need to do is to insert the image into front page or dreamwver then add image rolovers to get the ages to link together.

then you save the webpage ECT: index.html and then uplead it.

You can slice the image first using photoshop's slice tool (the one that looks like a knife in the toolbox). After you've sliced them up, you will click on save for web menu item under the file menu and select html and images to save the html file and the images.

You don't have to do any very hard works.. If you have Dreamweaver or some HTML editor program then it's very easy.. I do so: I make template I really like and then save it like .jpg and also that photoshop document near the .jpg file (.PSD).. Then on HTML editor write on place where you need links and PHP scripts.. Sounds pretty hard but it's very easy to learn ..

its realy not smart to build a template with photoshop. its not really the way your supposed to do it.

but since your already build it ill tell you how you can use it. first you have to seperate your template into pieces like, head, sidebar, navigation, footer. and so on. then you have to make a css file and intergrate your pictures into the css file. thats as simple as linking your pics in the css file. there is easy freeware that lets you build css file. its called "Simple CSS". its free and works on mac, windows and linux. and you dont need to learn any css programming. just google it and download it.

and try to find some tutorials on how to do this whole process, because this stuff can get annoying.

hope this helps.

post back if my idea worked.

Dude, dont listen to this people. They all talk *BLEEP*, they like the hardway. Let me tell you something: crop the parts and slice them save them for web. In dreamweaver you can put them together. Im offensive because I see many tutorials about this subject and all they do is waste time of people. Do things on the hardway.
