When not to convert PSD to HTML?

There are so many benefits of designing a PSD however it also has some downsides, Few of them are listed below.

• In the old-time, most of the internet users were from desktop and using a specific resolution, but now there are hundreds of different devices that have different resolutions, so it is almost impossible to account for all the resolutions, 62% of the total internet traffic comes from mobile devices that have different types of screen resolutions.

• If you are looking for a design that is responsive for all the resolutions and for all the devices then PSD to HTML conversion might not be a good option, Unless and until you have complete knowledge of Edge Reflow, Photoshop would fail to simulate a responsive web design.

• The Designing of a PSD and then converting it into an HTML Code double the workload. In addition to this, Photoshop doesn’t offer to design multiple pages on a simple tab.

• Most of the Front-End Developer can handle HTML and CSS, so there is no need for a Photoshop mockup of the website. 

Cross Browser Testing Tips

A few years back, The Developers and designers only need to worry about two browsers, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Then Google launched Chrome, and after that dozens of more browsers land in the market, and now the developer needs to cater to all those browsers since most of them are getting a considerable amount of traffic. Every browser has a desktop version and a mobile version, and every browser has its own styling requirements, it might be very difficult for the front-end developers to design a website that is responsive for all the browsers and resolutions. 

The very first step is to gather the statistic of the website, How much traffic, the website is receiving from the particular browser, For Example, Google Analytics gives the complete information of the browsers, device, and technology used by the visitor to visit the website, These statistics gives the overall picture to the developer that which browser, he should focus on. The Developer only considers the browsers that are getting most of the traffic. This will save the designing cost and testing time of the website.

For the smaller website, the developer must focus on four primary browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. For an enterprise website, make a banner that tells the visitor which browser is supported so that the visitor would change the browser.
