im totally new building web sites. im learning HTML, CSS and soon after that PHP. I want to know couple of things before i get started. If i make my own template using photoshop or adobe illustrator and upload it using FILEZILLA, how would i propgram the website. Does uploading the template mean that you just upload images, and then you have a seperate html/css txt document outlining how these images are displayed and used. I dont wuite understand the process. Thanks for any help in advance .
Yes that is what it means. You create a graphic of what your page will look like, saved as a psd file. From it you take out all the parts you need and put them into a directory. Here is one example to code a basic Logo from a psd file. You create a "css" file which sets the style and properties for the elements. Code: /* ----------LOGO STYLES---------- */ #logo { float: left; /*floats our logo left*/ height: 37px; /*gives our logo a height of 37px same as our logo image*/ width: 270px; /*sets our logo div's height to 270px same as our logo image*/ } Then you create a "html" file which tells the browser what to get from the "css" file, where to put it, how to display it. Code: <div id="logo"><!--LOGO STARTS--> <img src="your_images_directory/logo.png" alt="Welcome To Your PROject" /> </div><!--LOGO ENDS--> Basically you have 3 items; 1. a directory with your graphics 2. a style.css fie 3. a somefilename.html again the psd file is the visual graphic you used to create what was in your head. You then cut out the parts you needed and placed them in a directory for use with the "css" and "html" files.
