Who wants an online store? What if I tell you that getting your online store up and running could be a lot easier and cheaper than you think? That is what Magento is for!
Rocking a PSD to Magento implementation is not easy, it might not require as many steps to follow as other PSD to CMS implementations but it is important to understand what your coder is doing when he or she is turning a beautiful web design into a gorgeous e-commerce site using Magento. Let’s take a look on how the experts here at CodeMyConcept do it:
1. Just like in any other PSD to CMS implementation the first step is to analyze the HTML.
2. A Magento is installed in our computer so we can work with It locally.
3. Every piece of HTML is analyzed and placed on every Magento template.
4. We create then the directories for the theme (app/design/frontend/theme/theme and skin/frontend/theme/theme, etc).
5. We link the style sheet of our new theme.6. At this point we go ahead and create the layouts and .phtml files required.
7. We insert the information so it starts to take the necessary structure.
After these steps the implementation of a PSD to Magento goes through a lot of QA and testing, Magento coders need to be very careful and detailed throughout the entire process. Although running your ecommerce site using Magento can make your life really easy, the implementation part does require a little more patient from your side.
