Here is how this type of layout might look in a real life environment after being sliced and coded. I've used these same techniques to create a few different content areas on the page, just to divide up the page a bit and separate the content. As you can see in my final result, as a whole the overall finished product looks complex, but if you break down each page of the layout you will see that the same techniques that have been taught above, have been repeated with subtle differences.
1. Create a new document (800*600). In this tutorial we'll design a real estate layout for a company, but this layout could be adjusted to cover gaming sites or any type of website of course! this design has a web 2.0 look with some shiny buttons and a good looking interface with big and clear red buttons.
Select Rounded rectangle Tool , and create a few shapes. You can see that i have created 6 small shapes with a white color , and i have placed on the top of our layout. This shapes will be our buttons Then i have created a shape on the left side with a blue color.
In easy way we can feel rest of our template. I make it only to check how it will look. Normally You will add content in coding part (xHTML and CSS). Typing text in photoshop is really easy. I used two icons on my final template. You can get both here
11. Now we're going to add a picture to make sure everyone knows that this is a website about a real estate company (ofcourse you can add other pictures if you're planning on using this layout for something else). Anyway, I have 2 examples below this step and just copy them to your design in photoshop to use it (I think I've found them on google)! They have a transparant background so everything should look ok and it should be something like my outcome in the third screenshot below.
While I was looking into these sites i decided to do a bit of research and it looks like all the designs are created through one company - http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/portfolio/ - check it our for further examples of Real Estate website design.
7. It is very common for real estate websites to have some type of search that allows you to easily see what properties are up for sale. Since this is a useful tool, let's add one next too the image that you just added. Start off by creating a new layer, select the Rectangular Marquee Tool, and create a selection that fills up the rest of the row to the right of the house image. This will serve as a special background for this box. I filled mine in with a light gray color (#eeeeee) to ensure that the content placed on it will still be easily readable.
3. Now we are going to create the navigation bar. Start off by creating a new layer titled Navigation Bar. Move this layer below the Table Background, since the navigation bar will look best if it appears to "pop-out" from under the main table. Since the bar will have a slightly irregular shape, use the pen tool to create a selection. You can see the shape that I created for it below. You can fill the selection in with any color you'd like for now.
these are nice. I think it is important for real estate companies to have nice looking websites. If a consumer is going to trust someone to find them a big ticket item like a house, then they should at least look reputable.
This is a Photoshop tutorial on building a real estate website design using Adobe Photoshop CS3. This real estate website design tutorial will take you through a step by step process if you offer web design services to your agents/realtors. Website templates for real estate agents are great, but what if you could create professional real estate websites that were completely unique, espectially since there are so many web design services. Start to create you very own website templates, and hey, sell your website templates to web design services like Template Monster. If you company offers website design services, why not make some passive income using these techniques. Anyhow, this should provide you with a decent path to creating further real estate website designs in Photoshop.
Let's start doing this layout. For this we need to create a new document. we will use the same document sizes as usual. 760x770 pixels and of course with a white background.
To finish off the template add some content. I would go into the specifics of this step, but there aren't really any! You've already setup your main template, so simply use your text tool to add in your text, and then paste in photos for your sidebar content.
Create New Layer, use Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and using fixed size make a selection. Fill this selection with #fae5c8. Keep our sellection, use Select -> Transfrom Selection, and with Shift key rotate it by 45�, place it in left corner and hit delete. Now Select -> Deselect (Ctrl + D)
