Can a website be created in graphics program only

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 11.2012

Hi, Im useless at programming, code, the technical side, so Im wondering if its possible to be able to create a site just in graphics, or with a graphics program like Gimp and of course photoshop, if I could afford the software.
Or do I have to know indepth html and programming.
Cause it seems like with the graphics programm I am learning, I can place text, images anywhere after Ive created them.

@wildguy2authorApr 11.2012 — Hi, thanks, but it does seem that the graphics program can create all buttons, logos etc, create images, and then can still pace them easily into place, but Ive never uploaded it yet, its just the front page, so Im wondering if a graphics can do all this, even forms etc, then isnt it possible it will work, when I just put my pages into the site builder and upload.

@s5nelsonApr 11.2012 — No, the reason is that the buttons, items etc would not actually be clickable etc. Check out the other thread where I gave you a more detailed reply.

@Anton_ZaleskiApr 12.2012 — Why not hire a freelance web developer instead of making some SS with a "graphic program only"?

@touch_the_sky1Apr 12.2012 — If you need a site 'just because', don't know how to do it and don't wanna hire a professional you could:

Google around for some cheap hosting, with a friendly CP allowing for some '1-click CMS (Wordpress, etc.) install'

Without too much effort you should be able to work out how to manage the basic bits of your site, get some theme, plugins, etc.

Voila - with a bit of luck you'll have some sort of site, with some sort functionality, without getting into webdev. Is this what you're after though? Cause results may vary?

Yes you can....but not a good one.

@wildguy2authorApr 12.2012 — Hi, Ive aborted the graphics page I created in Gimp, too many problems trying to put text/images on in the webeditor, but have downloaded a website theme, which I want to put my own text in etc, but how large must I make it and how do I do that, cause it only comes up small in the webeditor, not full size to the screen there.

thanks everybody for the previous comments on building the website in graphics only.
