New Premium Tutorial – Designing a Family of Websites

Download Source Files

I’ve added a new Premium Members–only tutorial today on designing Web sites, written by myself! The tutorial takes you through the process I went through to design a set of blog templates to build into WordPress.

Psdtuts+ Plus

As you know, we run a premium membership system here called Psdtuts+ Premiumthat costs $19 a month which gives members access to the PSD files for tutorials as well as periodic extra tutorials … like this one! If you’re a member, you can log in and download the tutorial. If you’re not a member, you can of course join today!

A Family of Web site Designs

The tutorial I’ve added today is called “How to Design a Family of Website Designs” and is a step-by-step follow-along of a set of WordPress blog designs that I recently did. Because the Photoshop skills involved aren’t that advanced, I’ve spent more time talking about why certain things are done.

I’m now working on a PSD->HTML tutorial to follow up on this one, more on that later today. In the meantime these are the designs that the tutorial is on:

So anyhow enjoy the tutorial! Don’t forget you can Learn more about Psdtuts+ Premium here. I’ll be back posting again in a few hours as I have not one, but TWO big announcements to make today!

And just in case anyone feels like discussing why we have a premium system, to save myself repeating things, just go and read this post! :-)

Update: PSD -> HTML tutorial now on NETTUTS

Quick update, we now have a tutorial taking these PSD files and building the HTML of them available at NETTUTS. Read it at: From PSD to HTML, building a Set of Web Site Designs Step by Step

  5. Clint says:

    I echo iMike and a couple of my fellow plus members who would love any tidbit of info on when the html tut is coming out for this tutorial. It is specifically why I signed up for a plus account. Regardless this is still the best tutorial site on the web.

    “Great compilation! Thanks a lot for putting it all in one place, but there is another one to add to your list.

    http://www.xhtml-css-code.com/html/things-to-remember-while-coding-a-website-to-make-it-search-engine-friendly

    Though, not exactly a psd to html conversion article, but one must keep these tips in mind while coding a PSD into search engine as well as user friendly web layout.

  9. Me think, I really should get a plus membership…this seems to worth it!
