Think about it: a completed Photoshop design for a web page is not just a visual representation of the web page, it also implies most of the functionality of the web page. In fact, once the creative parts of the design are completed, the web page that will result is inevitable! The main variables are who is going to do the conversion and what tools they will use. PhotoWebber is by far the most powerful tool to accomplish this task.
PhotoWebber is very smart about both Photoshop files and web pages. When you import your multi-layered web design, PhotoWebber analyzes the layers and their interactivity relationships. By the time the file has finished importing, PhotoWebber has done most of the tedious and intricate work of calculating slices and programming buttons. In fact, if you only want to preview the interactivity of buttons in a web browser, you are only one click away from doing so.
The reason PhotoWebber can turn a Photoshop file into an interactive web page in thirty seconds with minimal input from the user is that it sits in a very different and much more advantageous place in the workflow from the web tools you may already be familiar with. Most tools are primarily either graphic editors (Photoshop, Imageready, Fireworks, etc.) or HTML editors (Dreamweaver, GoLive, etc.) This division of labor is an accident of marketing and makes no practical sense. Decisions can be made on one side of the Graphics/HTML equation that have profound impacts on the other side and often mean a lot of boring complicated work will have to be redone. A perfect example of this is an HTML editor's ability to change the background color. The problem is that once you are in the HTML editor you have a bunch of image slices that are already anti-aliased to the background color you were using in your graphics editor. Changing this color in your HTML editor results in a lot of unusable graphics that will have to be re-sliced and re-exported.
PhotoWebber sits in a very comfortable place directly between graphics and HTML editors. Because it understands Photoshop layers AND the intricacies and limitations of HTML and Javascript, PhotoWebber can be very flexible about things that cause major problems in other web tools. Want to change the background color? No problem…you can rebuild your page in seconds! The same is true if you want to add a frame divider, even if it cuts across buttons and menus! PhotoWebber's workflow is astonishingly powerful and elegant.
PhotoWebber doesn't do the impossible, it does something more important: the inevitable. Any time the end result of a process is inevitable, the steps of that process can be automated. By automating the process of turning a completed Photoshop design into a web page, PhotoWebber frees you up to concentrate on the important creative issues without the dread and distraction caused by the manual completion of HTML creation.
