How to Convert a Slick PSD Design to XHTML/CSS

Converting a Adobe PSD to a static HTML/CSS page can be quite the hassle, so today I will demonstrate how to go about the process.

The page is essentially broken down to five major sections, each one having its own container wrapping custom content. We will approach this conversion by first writing valid XHTML code then add CSS to make the page resemble the PSD. Lets begin by looking at the PSD and what we want to take from it.
