Hey guys,
Are you looking for the conversion of PSD
to a WordPress theme or template? As we know that WordPress is the best content management system(CMS) and creating a WordPress template-based
website is very easy.
But there is some confusion when anyone
talks about the PSD to WordPress conversion. Here is a good point, that is PSD to WordPress conversion is also a very easy process if we keep some
things in mind. So let's start that how to convert a PSD theme to a WordPress theme.
First of all there is first
action which is "slicing the PSD file".
Slice PSD with Photoshop:-
If you don't
understand that what is PSD?, so first we remove your confusion about the PSD
file. PSD is a Photoshop document or anything that can be designed in Photoshop and save in PSD format.
Because now we are talking about a Website PSD, then a website PSD is a design
of any website that is create in Photoshop and saved in PSD format.
Now we will perform the first action for
the conversion of PSD to word-press. Open PSD file with Photoshop and take slice
tool for slicing PSD. Slice all images like logo, banner etc that is in PSD. Because we need all of these images when we will design HTML from PSD.
Convert PSD into HTML format:-
After that
we will ready our HTML theme according to the design of PSD. Now we will
convert the PSD file into HTML by using some front-end languages or we can say that
we will develop the responsive user interface of the website from PSD by using
HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JQuery, and JS.
If you do not have knowledge about HTML,
CSS, Jquery, then you have read it from w3schools.com. Because we are using
bootstrap, our HTML theme will be responsive or we can make it more responsive
and beautiful by using media query in CSS file.
When we developed our HTML theme according
to the PSD file,we will go ahead.
Convert HTML theme format into WordPress theme format:-
So now our HTML theme is ready and the next step is to convert it
to the format of a WordPress theme. As we know there is a complete setup of a
word-press theme like there will be header.php, footer.php,
sidebar.php pages, or you can download a free WordPress theme and see that. So now
break the index.php of the developed HTML theme into the header.php, footer.php, and
sidebar.php. In the header.php, the header item of the index page like the website's top menu bar will come. And footer of the index page will come into the footer.php
page. As the same as will their sidebar.php in which
sidebar of the index page will come. After performing all these steps our HTML WordPress template is ready. Now we will apply the functionality of the website to our HTML WordPress template by using WordPress PHP tags.
Add WordPress PHP tags:-
Our static HTML WordPress theme is ready, now we want to make it dynamic so we can do perform an operation on it from WordPress admin. Here is a link (
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags ) of wordpress.org website where all WordPress template tags are available, you can go here and can include all WP template tags to the
HTML WordPress theme to make it dynamic. To add some extra
functionalities to it you can use WordPress predefined functions provided by WordPress.
You can read on the wordpress.org website in detail and apply all type of WordPress tags and
functionalities to your HTML WordPress theme.
If you have performed everything is right
then now you can easily activate your custom WordPress theme into a WordPress website. This was the process for
converting PSD files to WordPress templates. If you have any queries or questions you can comment here, we will revert
back ASAP.
