|
Q
|
Your Layouts are Photoshop
(PSD) files. Does that mean having Photoshop installed on my machine
is a prerequisite?
|
|
A
|
Absolutely no. It is not necessary
as a PSD file can also be opened in various other softwares like
Corel Photopaint, Macromedia Fireworks, JASC's Paint shop Pro
etc.
|
|
Q
|
Are your layouts / website
templates web-compatible ?
|
|
A
|
Of course, Yes ! All our web layouts
are designed keeping in mind Web requirements. We have given PhotoShop
source (PSD) files to provide you total flexibility. After customizing
as per your requirement, the PhotoShop file must be transferred
to Adobe Image ready, where through slicing and optimization,
the file size can be reduced to 50-80 KB.
|
|
Q
|
What is the scope of the term-
"Ready-to-use" ? Is it possible to directly upload your layout
design as a home page on the Net ?
|
|
A
|
By 'Ready-to-use' layouts,
we mean a total of 100 ready designs or web layouts where you
have one color options. Additionally, our CD offers a total of
200 PSD source files (where all the pictures and designs are saved
in different layers). As a user, you can replace the 'dummy' pictures
on the layout chosen by you with pictures of your choice and use
the same as a home-page. However, one cannot upload the design
directly because the PSD file has to be sliced and optimized in
Adobe Image Ready.
Here's how it is done :
* Save the file in HTML format by using the "save optimize" option.
* Open the HTML page in Macromedia Dreamweaver or FrontPage and
give hyperlinks.
* Your site is now ready to upload.

Controlling the file-size is the
crucial job in web designing. Smaller the file-size without compromising
on quality, the better it is. By optimization, one can reduce
the file-size as required. JPEG, GIF, PNG are the different options
in which, one can save the images which are smaller in size yet
