Yes, PSD to HTML workflows made use of to be one of the very best ways to make internet sites. There's 2 large reasons that PSD to HTML made use of making sense.
The first reason is for photo assets. Prior to web browsers sustained all the remarkable attributes of contemporary CSS (decline darkness, rounded edges, gradients, as well as a lot more) it was really hard to develop cross-browser results without the use of pictures. PSD to Responsive HTML5
Developers would produce darkness and rounded corners as photos, after that brilliant coding methods were made use of to put the imagery on the web page. These assets would certainly have to be realized no matter what, so producing them at the very same time as the high integrity mockup really saved time.
Second of all (as well as perhaps much more significantly) the web made use of to only be readily available on desktop browsers and also had not been actually present on phones as well as tablet computers in the way it is today. Designing for one fixed resolution of 1024 × 768 made use of to be completely feasible.
For these two reasons, it's easy to understand why a developer would want to Photoshop as their primary website design tool. Photo properties were needed for a single screen resolution.
