james_ogara1 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Anyone have any experience with using PS to create a Web site? I'mtalking about the Web templates. Is this the sort of thing that would allow a technological incompetentto create a simple Web site from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 You could certainly set up a web gallery that way. Without the ability to get in an play with the templates themselves, you won't be able to do much with it, but it would give you photo pages.

joe_kallo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm a techie by trade and I actually have been using PS to generate my site: http://www.quietglow.com I'm using .mac at present, and Apple doesn't allow any scripting. Rather than make/update a gallery in Dreamweaver, I do it automatically with PS. And, yeah, you can indeed modify the stock designs (as I have), but just be sure to work on a copy of the originals. Best, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_kallo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 James, It a modified version of CS's "horizontal gallery." I opened a copy of the template (which is in your PS CS directory) in an HTML editor and made the changes you see. Now I use that one to generate my pages when I update. Its kinda like what a PHP script would do on a server (i.e. dynamically generate a page) but I just do it on my machine and upload the results. Basically, Photoshop does the page generation and I just put it on the web. I would offer you the template, but it wouldn't do you too much good as it has all my info in it. It a pretty easy project to do, though. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek_simpson Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm no good at that HTML thing but have recently found the PS Web page creator a very useful way of getting event photos on the web quickly - some potential buyers don't want e-mails with attachments - so they get a link to the gallery. Next step is to rewrite my main web site to link to the galleries and learn how to put a return to home link in the gallery . Last Friday I had www.portfolio.plus.com/UlsterGloucester up and running within a couple of hours of the match (one hour drive home on a filthy night) just using the supplied Horizontal template as is - looks OK does the job.
