| Welcome
to SlicingGuide.com, the online tutorial written
by Dan (Faken) of Pixel2life.com.
This tutorial is designed to teach you how to
slice a complex website layout using Corel
Photopaint and Macromedia
Dreamweaver. You can use any 2D graphic application
such as Photoshop
if you do not use Photopaint. |
|
| In
order to properly slice a website, I HIGHLY recommend
that you do so completely by hand rather than use
a quick slicing tool such as Fireworks.
These programs often generate a sliced layout that
looks great until it comes time for those content
boxes to start stretching. |

| Special
Thanks |
| I'd
like to thank Donna (owner of www.13dots.com)
for listening to my ranting about how long
this tutorial was taking and providing encouragement
to keep going. I'd also like to thank Jay
for pointing out any coding booboos on SlicingGuide.com
and for going through the whole thing and
XHTML validating it. Finally, I want to thank
my bro Elvio (owner of www.coolcommands.com)for
the final proof reading and sending me a scary
list of corrections! I should also thank Rush
for the great tunes that kept me going for
the last month or so that I've been working
on this. |

| Final
Notes |
| Remember,
the trick to intelligently slicing tutorials
is practice and not getting stuck on a single
method of doing things. There are many ways
to slice, not to mention MUCH more to web
design than slicing a layout, so never be
afraid to experiment and to keep learning. |
