- You should first check the psd file. The psd file should be guided by what to look for in the website. And understand the necessary information about the website.
- Download and install what fonts are used in the psd file. Otherwise the typography of the website will not be okay.
- Now you need to slice the necessary images from the psd file. In places where there is no way to use images, no need to use images at all places. Unnecessary images can not be used in an unwanted place. Always try to create HTML web pages using CSS using less images.

A text editor for PSD to HTML, a latest version of Photoshop, a web browser and an Internet connection, is a software that is meant to be a good text editor . For example, "Notepad" with default on Windows, you can use "Notepad ++" if you want some additional features. There are some more beautiful features, including syntax highlights for HTML, CSS. Or you can use any of your favorite text editors. Like I use "Sublime" text editor. The latest version of Photoshop is meant to be the best. There is absolutely no need to be the latest! In this Article I will definitely use Adobe Photoshop CC. But you can run CS5 or CS6 and work. Web browser is Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer etc. It's going to be any one of them.
