From Photoshop to Webflow: how to turn static mocks into live websites

The process of converting a PSD design to a Webflow site can be streamlined by following a few key steps. Initially, extracting image assets from Photoshop is made more efficient with Adobe's "Generate Image Assets" feature, which automatically exports them, ready for Webflow. After creating a new Webflow project, it's important to add necessary fonts from sources like Google Fonts or Typekit, while being mindful of the file size impact of additional font weights. Uploading images in bulk to the Webflow Asset Manager further speeds up the workflow. Developing a style guide within Webflow allows for centralized design adjustments, made easier by turning the guide into a Symbol for quick reference and deletion. Establishing a brand color palette involves using the eyedropper tool to match PSD colors in Webflow and saving them as global swatches. Finally, creating global elements like navigation bars and footers as Symbols ensures consistency and efficiency across the website, allowing for seamless updates and reuse.
