Basic Web Design Question..

Baxtardo · 01-09-2014 05:34PM #1

I have a background in Graphics and have been playing with the Sketch app, find it very good and coming from a PS / Illustrator background it's very workable.

I'd like to set myself a small project of publishing a simple website made with Sketch to get an idea of the workflow. My very basic problem is what to do with the artboards I make in Sketch and how to get them online. I have only basic HTML / CSS knowledge but am would like to develop my skills on this end too. Is the idea to export your work as slices and code them into a website with HTML / CSS / Javascript? Or can you take the work to a WYSIWYG program? Can you export CSS attributes of what you design in Sketch?

If someone could give a very basic overview of how I should think about the workflow it would be very helpful. I have been working on tutorials from Code Academy about basic web coding but it's the gap between designing and uploading as a website I lack clarity on.

Thanks!

I have no idea what Sketch is, but here's some info about CSS background attributes: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

I use photoshop to design websites and export the graphics as slices. I dunno if this is the same as sketch why not google your question. google is a designers best friend

Exporting PSD's as slices isn't a good way to create a website. Anything that doesn't need to be a graphic or that can be replicated in CSS should be done with CSS.
