Hi. So I have a site and i want to make a layout for it. Do i first make a layout in photoshop and then transfer it to dreamweaver?

[rc69]

You first design it in photoshop, then you learn html, and code it from scratch in dreamweaver.
I say this because if you export it using photoshop, you will run into more problems then it's worth.

where can i learn html? is there some tutorial i can read?

http:/www.w3schools.com

Learn HTML first and then progress onto CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Both are important for web-design.

Ha! Silwolffe did a samll booboo! he for got the 2nd / (forward slash in http://) The url for w3schools is http://w3schools.com

That is the best place to start learning HTML, and yeah go on to using CSS to learn how to style your pages. There is lots of free tutorials hanging about for HTML.

Heres acouple of more sites:
http://pageresource.com
http://yourhtmlsource.com

Two good sites for learning HTML and CSS.

ok so if i design it in photoshop first what are the dimensions supposed to be so it can fit well on the browsers of the people's computer screens? *edit* also what is this slicing thing i've heard ppl talk about?

You slice your template in pieces and then u save for web,
then you have a html file with all images, just edit this one and you have your site

are u going to use PHP or iframes or frames?
