  How to Design a Band Website Layout in Photoshop
  
  
• Part 2:

  Coding a Band Website Created in Photoshop
  
  

Working Proof

If you follow along with the tutorial, you should end up with the following

live demonstration

.

Click to view live demo

Setting up the files

1

Start out by creating a new folder on your computer to put all of the site files in; I titled my folder

sixrevisionsband

. Create another folder in your working folder you just created and call it

images

; it will contain all the images, including CSS background images, for the site.

2

Now open up your favorite code editor (I use

Coda

.) Create a new HTML file titled

index.html

in the root of the folder -this will be our main page template. I like to keep all of my stylesheets in one folder in case I need to add a few different stylesheets. That way they are all kept together neatly. So we’ll add a folder titled

css,

and a CSS file inside it titled

screen.css

. screen.css will be the main stylesheet for our template.

I start out the HTML with some basic stuff, making sure to add a title and a link to the stylesheet:

     Six Revisions Band Website

My stylesheet also starts out with a few basic styles such as a border, margin, padding reset for all elements and some style declarations for common elements such as headings, lists, paragraphs, and hyperlinks. Then to organize, I break the stylesheet into several logical parts so that when I maintain the stylesheet later on, things will be easier to find:

/***** Global Settings *****/  html, body {   border:0;   margin:0;   padding:0; }  body {   font:.9em/1.3em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;   color:#403d3d; }  /***** Common Formatting *****/  h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {   margin:0;   padding:0;   font-weight:normal; }  h1 {   padding:30px 0 25px 0;   letter-spacing:-1px;   font:2em arial, helvetica, sans-serif; }  h2 {   padding:20px 0;   letter-spacing:-1px;   font:1.5em arial, helvetica, sans-serif; }  h3 {   font:1em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;   font-weight:bold;   padding:5px 0 10px 0; }  p, ul, ol {   margin:0;   padding:0 0 18px 0; }  ul, ol {   list-style:disc;   padding:0 0 18px 40px; }  img {   border:0;   margin: 0 0 5px 0; }  /***** Links *****/  a, a:visited {   text-decoration:underline;   color:#403d3d; }  a:hover {   text-decoration: none; }  /***** wrapper *****/  /***** Header Area *****/  /***** Homepage Content *****/  /***** Footer *****/  /***** Global Classes *****/  .clear { clear:both; }

Starting with the background (in Photoshop)

3

I like to start out from the back and work my way forward (towards the screen). If you downloaded the PSD file from


Part 1


, you’ll notice the layers are organized into folders: header, home, footer, and back. This helps for the coding process.

You’ll want to turn off all of the groups except for

back

, which contains all of the layers with the background files. You’ll also want to turn off the content area, and you’ll be left with this:

4

You’ll need to change the canvas size (Image > canvas size) to 1600px wide so the background will be wide enough to save as a full-width background. Once we do that, we see that the grid texture has harsh lines that we’ll need to get rid of.

5

We’ll create a mask like we did in Part 1. Select the layer with the grid texture by holding down the Cmd/Ctrl key and clicking on the layer thumbnail in the Layer Panel.

6

Then create the layer mask by clicking on the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layer Panel.

7

We’ll choose a large soft round brush, like

Soft Round 300

and change the Opacity and Flow settings to

50%

. Make sure your foreground color is set to black (press D to reset your foreground and background color quickly). Softly brush the sides (not the bottom) a few times until the harsh lines are all gone. Your background should look like this:

5

Our background is ready to save. Choose File > Save for Web & Devices. I like to experiment in here and find the best settings for the image, while trying to keep the file size as low as possible. With this image, I found that a JPG at 40% keeps the file size fairly low but the quality good enough so that it’s not pixilated. Save this to the images folder as

background.jpg

.

Adding the background to the web design

6

To add the background to your design, use the

body

element’s CSS background attribute. The style declaration below tells the background not to repeat, to be at the top and in the center at all times, and when the picture runs out, use the tan color

#d5d4c2

.

body {   background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat top center #d5d4c2; }

Next, we’ll need to make sure all of our other items are centered in a 960-pixel wide wrapper. I’ll add a wrapper div in HTML:

And then we’ll need to give it some styles to center it:

#wrap {   width:960px;   margin:0 auto; }

Working on the site’s logo

7

Turn all layer folders back on to see what’s next. I like to code in the order the items will be in the HTML, so the logo is next. I add some guides around the logo to make everything precise and then I crop the logo to the guidelines. I save this out as a JPG at 40% as well.

8

Now we’ll add the logo in with an

h1

tag, which tells search engines that this an important element on our page. Then we’ll add an

a

tag inside of it that will link back to the homepage.

Six Revisions

I like to use a negative

text-indent

which will hide the text from sighted viewers, but will still be visible to search engines and screen-reading technologies.

And then I add the image in as a background in the stylesheet. We’ll also need it to float it left because the navigation will be floating to the right. Here’s what the CSS looks like:

#logo h1 {   float:left;   display:block;   padding:21px 0 0 23px;   text-indent:-2000px;   margin: 0; }  #logo h1 a {   width:293px;   height:100px;   display:block;   background:url(../images/logo.jpg) no-repeat; }

Coding the navigation

9

Moving on to the navigation. First we’ll go in and crop out the hover background, cropping it at 1px wide by 110px tall. We can save it out as a PNG-24. The transparency will work everywhere except in Internet Explorer 6 and below, but it’ll appear as a light grey background there, which I’m fine with.

As a quick note, I do test and make sure my sites are functioning in Internet Explorer, but as you may know, IE6 has several issues, like not supporting certain image types (like PNG-24s) and misinterpreting certain CSS specs. So I find ways to make it work but according to

browsers stats by w3 schools

in October 2009, only 10.6% of internet users are still using IE6 and it appears to be dropping quickly. So, although the light grey hover background isn’t as classy as the transparent PNG-24, it gets the job done, which is my method for taking care of IE6. Period. Ok let’s move on.

We’ll use a straightforward unordered list, and the HTML will look like this:

News
Songs
Photos
Videos
Tours & Events

I’ll show you the CSS and then I’ll break it all down:

#navigation {   float: right;   display: block;   text-transform: uppercase;   font-weight: bold;   font-size: 1.1em; }  #navigation a {   color: #706752;   text-decoration: none; }  #navigation ul {   list-style: none;   margin: 0;   padding: 0;   float: right;   display: block; }  #navigation li {   float: left;   display: block;   padding: 64px 0 33px 0; }  #navigation li a {   padding: 64px 14px 33px 14px; }  #navigation li a:hover {   background: url(../images/hover.png) repeat-x; }

First, I floated the navigation to the right to get it into place. Then I added some styles to get the look of the text to be uppercase and bold with a

1.1em

font size. Also, I changed the link color to

#706752

and told it not to have any underline.

#navigation {   float: right;   display: block;   text-transform: uppercase;   font-weight: bold;   font-size: 1.1em; }  #navigation a {   color: #706752;   text-decoration: none; }

Now onto our unordered list. First, I took away any list-style and zeroed out the padding and margins, and then added another float right to get it placed correctly.

#navigation ul {   list-style: none;   margin: 0;   padding: 0;   float: right;   display: block; }

Next, I floated the

li

to the left to get each link to sit next to each other, because the default is to line up vertically. If you float the

li

right, then your links will be listed backwards. Then, I added padding to the top and bottom of the

li

with

#navigation li

to get the links in the right place.

#navigation li {   float: left;   display: block;   padding: 64px 0 33px 0; }

This padding spaces the

li

’s out from side to side and also tells the hover action the height.

#navigation li a { padding: 64px 14px 33px 14px; }

And finally we add in our hover background, which will repeat horizontally.

#navigation li a:hover { background: url(../images/hover.png) repeat-x; }

Coding the content area

10

Moving on to the content area. Back in Photoshop, we’ll turn off these groups:

home

and

footer

, leaving back and

header

group on. We’ll add guides to the top and the bottom of the content area to decide where we’d like to crop it. I find that 960 pixels wide by 710 pixels tall will be a good size and plenty tall enough. Crop it and save it for the web. And again, a JPG at 40% will do the trick.

We’ll clear the float above with:

Then we’ll add a div called

#contentarea

for the content area and then style it. A simple hack was added here, as IE6 doesn’t recognize

min-height

. The two lines beneath

min-height

(

height

and

_height

) allow IE6 to recognize the fact that we’d like the

#contentarea

div to be at least

830px

tall. I also added in padding to push all the content inside in the right place easily.

#contentarea {   background: url(../images/contentarea.jpg) no-repeat top center;   width: 908px;   min-height: 684px;   height: auto;   _height: 684px;   margin: 18px 0 0 0;   padding: 26px 26px 0 26px; }

11

Next, inside the content area is the feature. You can place a slider here using this tutorial called

Create a Slick and Accessible Slideshow Using jQuery


or use a flash component. To keep things simple for the code and for the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll just simulate the look of the an animated feature with a simple image for now.

I’ll keep call this section

#flash

:

And the CSS is basic dimensions and margin definitions:

#flash {   width: 908px;   height: 411px;   margin: 0 0 35px 0; }

The margin on bottom accounts for the space between the

#flash

div and the 3 columns that will be below.

Creating the columns

12

Now we’ll crop out the next couple photos to get everything ready for the 3 columns of content below the flash. We’ll need to crop the video (which we’ll simulate with an image for this tutorial, just like we did with the

#flash

image), and the 6 social media icons.

13

Next we’ll set up the HTML for the columns. The

br

tag clears the float for the footer that will be below these columns.

Some simple CSS gets the columns all set up and in place:

#column1 {   float: left;   display: block;   width: 233px;   margin: 0 68px 0 0; }  #column2 {   float: left;   display: block;   width: 335px;   margin: 0; }  #column3 {   float: right;   display: block;   width: 207px;   margin: 0; }

14

We’ll add the content to the first column and your html should look like this:

Latest Videos

   Another video to watch here   And yet another video here

15

For the blog posts in column 2, I could use simple pie or some php script to call in the 3 most recent blog post titles and a couple lines, but for now we’ll just add some simple HTML to column 2 to simulate the look of the blog posts:

Six Revisions blog

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing 			Nunc eu mi risus, nec luctus justo.[...]

Bibendum est eu gravida cras dui sem 			Venenatis a egestas id, consectetur faucibus nibh.[...]

Aliquam arcu nisi, sagittis at feugiat quis 			Accumsan ut metus. Mauris rhoncus[...]

16

The third column will be set up using some unordered lists, to get the indent without having to use another div. Here’s our HTML:

Connect with us

I also had to add some CSS to control the unordered list properly:

#column3 ul {   list-style: none; }  #column3 li {   float: left;   display: block;   padding: 0 27px 10px 0; }

The finale: the footer

17

Almost there! Moving onto the final piece, the footer. Add some simple HTML:

   copy; 2009 Six Revisions Band  |  contact us 

And the CSS is pretty simple as well. The line was added with a

6px

border at the top and I needed some space above the line (which I created with margins) and some space below the line and above the text (which I created with padding). I also wanted some space below the text and before the edge of the browser window, which I created with padding as well. And the font size needed to be slightly smaller than the other body copy, so I made it

.9em

.

#footer {   width: 960px;   border-top: 6px solid #c4c2af;   padding: 10px 0 30px 0;   text-align: center;   margin: 30px 0 0 0;   font-size: .9em; }

And we’re all finished!

Thanks for following along through the full tutorial. I hope you learned some coding techniques and PSD to XHTML/CSS tricks. Feel free to ask any questions and definitely let me know what you think in the comments area.
