I have created a website strictly in Photoshop.
http://www.fallingfeatheroutdoors.com

On the contact page I am wanting to build more of a form more than what I have now. Has anyone succesfully created a web form in PS CS5?? I am fairly new to web design and I am lost on how to add this feature to the website.

Thanks for your help.

I've created forms for websites, but I used Dreamweaver, not Photoshop. I don't think Photoshop can do it.

My background is in software development, so it's not surprising that my tool of choice for web development would be Dreamweaver. The reason for this is the flexibility which it allows, and the way that it fits with the overall view of a website, which might contain multiple pages, forms, text, pictures, scripts and so on.

Even if you stick to Photoshop, I can't see how you can avoid getting your hands dirty when you have to put some real HTML into those lovely slices. Like to make a form...

My advice would be to either leave your contact as an email link, or to bite the bullet and do some redesigning using an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver (there are some free ones around as well).

I hope you don't mind me mentioning a couple of points. First is that I suspect that your site is very graphic heavy - it takes a long time to load a page. Check whether any of your pictures can be reduced in size (see the options in 'Save for Web').

The second point could have been rather amusing... I'm an early riser, and while my sleeping family understand many of my peculiarities, the sound of quacks and gunshots is unusual, even for me. They were spared because I'd left my headphones plugged in. Point is that there are diverging opinions about websites which produce sound without warning...

Anyway, best of luck. You're very welcome to ask more and sorry if my points were out of order.
