Designing a Single Page Product Website in Photoshop and HTML
Single page websites dominate product launches and SaaS landing pages—and you need both design and code skills to own the full workflow. This course bridges the gap between Photoshop mockups and production-ready HTML, teaching you to design visually, then hand off clean, semantic code without friction.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for designers wanting to code their own work, or junior developers needing design fundamentals before building. You’ll ship faster and communicate better with your team. Note: assumes basic Photoshop and HTML familiarity—not a ground-zero introduction.
What This Course Covers
You’ll start by designing a product website layout in Photoshop, establishing visual hierarchy, typography, and spacing before touching code. Then you’ll translate that design into semantic HTML and CSS, learning how to structure markup for performance and accessibility. The course covers responsive considerations, asset optimisation, and the handoff workflow between design and development—practical skills that eliminate the ‘lost in translation’ moment most teams face.
By the end, you’ll have a complete, production-ready single page website and a repeatable process for moving from design file to live code. Jan Zavrl walks you through real decisions: when to use flexbox vs. grid, how to preserve design intent in HTML, and why semantic markup matters beyond SEO.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Product designers moving into front-end development: You know Photoshop inside-out but want to own the full product—from mockup to deployed site. This closes the code gap.
- Junior front-end developers strengthening design literacy: You can code, but you’re uncomfortable in design tools. Learning to think visually first makes you a better developer and more valuable in cross-functional teams.
- Freelancers and solopreneurs building client websites: You need to deliver polished, professional single page sites quickly. This teaches the exact workflow to do both design and development yourself.
May not suit:
- Complete beginners to Photoshop or HTML: This assumes working knowledge of both tools. You’ll struggle without foundational skills in either.
- Enterprise teams needing design system or component library training: This is single-page focused, not scalable design systems. Look elsewhere for pattern libraries or design tokens.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Designing a Single Page Product Website in Photoshop and HTML take?
4 hours 18 minutes of video content. Most learners complete it in 1–2 sittings, though you’ll want extra time for hands-on practice and your own projects.
Do I need to know Photoshop and HTML before starting?
Yes. This isn’t a beginner course for either tool. You should be comfortable navigating Photoshop’s interface and writing basic HTML/CSS. If you’re new to either, start with foundational courses first.
Will I build a real website I can use or show to clients?
Absolutely. You’ll design and code a complete single page product website from scratch. It’s portfolio-ready and uses modern, semantic HTML—perfect for case studies or client work.
Is this course still relevant with modern frameworks like React?
Yes. Understanding vanilla HTML, CSS, and the design-to-code workflow is foundational. These skills transfer directly to React, Vue, or any framework. You’ll code smarter once you know what’s happening under the hood.
