2. In all the projects of website development PSD to HTML conversion is an
indispensible activity of the development process, to ensure that the web pages are
supported consistently across all the browsers. As you are aware of the fact that
WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) and known world-wide
for its powerful functionality and user-friendly management. Though you’d get
plethora of free and pre-fabricated premium templates for WordPress but they do not
necessary correlates to the brand identity of the business. Therefore, businesses
prefer to create their own unique designs and then take advantage of PSD to
WordPress conversion as it gives them an ability to showcase their brand
vision, uniqueness, and a fully be-spoke website. In the conversion
process, WordPress website developers takes into account your business domain
and your key strengths thereby, targeting at the right audience for your business.

3. First and the foremost thing is to examine
the complete PSD file in order to figure out
the complexity and the effort required in
conversion. This planning phase is an
important process as it lays the foundation
for Wordpress PSD theme conversion.

4. Slicing of Images
The next step in the PSD to Wordpress conversion process is the
slicing of PSD image. Slicing simply means cutting of an image file
into multiple files each having different components of the complete
design. Within this process, the image is sliced into different sections
such as the header, body, navigation, footer division, header etc.
Each of these elements is saved as a separate image in different
layer as the whole design is not coded in a single image. Since, each
component has their own functionality and use in the final website
so, the design components need to be separated and coded
accordingly. The success mark of this step is to reach a pixel perfect
conversion where the web page matches the PSD file pixel-by-pixel.
The wordpress developer usually performs this process using an
image editing software like Photoshop or equivalent and the sliced
PSD file then saved as GIF, JPEG, Bitmap, etc.

5. PSD to HTML Conversion
It is the next most important step in the
PSD to WordPress theme conversion
process and it follows immediately after the
slicing. By nature PSD files are not
compatible with web browsers and
therefore we have to convert it into markup
language like HTML/CSS that makes PSD
design compatible on the internet. The
wordpress developer now undertakes the
manual PSD conversion into W3C
validated HTML/XHTML.

6. PSD to CSS Conversion
We now move to the next step in the conversion
process and that is to convert to CSS from PSD.
Cascading Style Sheet or better known as CSS
controls the formatting and the presentation of the
theme and provides separation of content of the site
from the design elements, including
layout, fonts, colors etc. This separation proves to be
beneficial as it allows complete control over entire
wordpress site from a single CSS and thereby
achieving lighter weight website, serving visitors with
a nice experience. Moreover, CSS allows the website
to have higher percentage of content than
programming code and being a clean coding
technique, ensure easy crawling of content by various
search engine crawlers.

7. HTML/CSS Integration to Wordpress
We finally reach to the last step in PSD to
WordPress conversion process that is to
be performed by your wordpress
development company . Here the
processed HTML and CSS elements are
integrated into the WordPress and you
finally have a pixel-perfect website for your
business.
