out on the web, its easy to find how to create layouts in programs such as photoshop... the only problem i have is incorporating these designs into a website im making in Dreamweaver. could anyone go step by step to explain how to make a navigation bar from an image created in photoshop, and whether it is possible to make button up %26 over images in photoshop
ANYOnE GOOD AT PHOTOSHOP AND WEBDESIGN(dreamweaver)???download
Yes you can make images for buttons in photoshop and you can make button up and over images in photoshop. You can make any images you want. Dreamweaver gives them the characteristics to WORK like buttons.
In photoshop use rounded rectangles to make the button itself.
Type text on it.
Give it effects like bevel and a drop shadow to make it look good.
If you want a horizontal nav bar combine all the buttons together in a single doc (side by side). When you are done you can save it for web. Probally should go with a gif. file.
The file has to be in your root folder for dreamweaver.
Open your page put the gif in it and then you start puuting the functions to the nav bar. There is a nav bar option in the top menu. If you want to bring in one button at a time I find it easy to just click the button highliting it in DW then you want to go to the crosshairs at the bottom and drag to the page you want to link it to, thus creating a link from the button. If its a huge site using many many pages look up CSS otherwise good luck.
