Process of creating webpage using Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS3.

The print screen shows my individual creation of Accommodation webpage. Firstly, I design the 5 buttons for the readers to click to get more information. Using Dreamweaver, the process will be as follow:



I've created a home page.
Next, I've 'inserted a table' with 1 row and 5 columns for the 5 buttons and then added grey colour for the background.
The rest of the design are using Photoshop and I'll show the steps later(under process of Photoshop).





To create another 4 pages (from above)
Following steps are :

(4) box - I've changed width to 70%
For your information, I've repeated the same steps to create for the above four print screen.

Using Photoshop, the process will be as follow:


 I've inserted the above image as my home background. I used 'Quick Selection Tool' to cut the selected image and used 'Move Tool' to drag/move it to a new A4 paper. 


After that, I used 'Horizontal Type Tool' to type in the word of pulau sipadan.
And the above print screen was the final image that I decided to design it as my home background.


To attract more viewer, I've selected few images to put into my home page of my individual webpage. The first image, I used 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' to select the image and then used 'Move Tool' to move the image to the new A4 paper.


I've repeated the same step as how I did for my first image to my second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth images. Which is used 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' to select the image and then used 'Move Tool' to move the image into the new A4 paper.


This is the final image. I'd combined 8 images into a A4 paper.


This is the photo gallery of Sipadan Mabul Resort.
Few steps are needed to create it and it shows below...


First, I've choose the above image as a background image. I used 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' to select the image. Then I used 'Move Tool' to move the image to new page.


Second, I click on the 'Layer Style' under 'Blend Mode' to change the mode to Exclusion.


Third, I've selected 5 images to add into it. By repeating the same steps, used 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' to select the images and 'Move Tool' to move the images.
Lastly, I used 'Horizontal Type Tool' to type in the words and changed the font to Occidental style.


Here is the final image...


This is the final image of Sipadan Water Village Resort...
To create it, it requires few steps:
First, choose the images.
Second, used 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' to select each of the images and then used 'Move Tool' to move the images to the new page.
Third, arranged all the images together.
Fourth, I click on 'Layer Style' to change the blend mode. I've changed the mode to Hard Light.
Lastly, used 'Horizontal Type Tool' to type in the words. Then changed the font style to Occidental.
