So, you’ve designed your next site but you’re having a little trouble turning your lovely PSD into a coded layout. This tutorial should help you learn how to analyze either a new template, or even your current layout to find the best way to code it.
Here is a basic design composition. The problem now becomes turning it into code while maintaining the style and structure that was decided upon as well as making sure that the site is accessible across browsers/platforms and is as light and elegant as possible.
The first thing I do once I receive a finalized composition is attack it with a pencil. Analyze every detail of the layout and write down what you think will work. Begin by marking up the widths and basic structure of the site and then move to the details such as the typeface and font-size.

(_Note: You can remove the red markings by making the “Code Overlay” layer invisible._)
