Course overview

Modern web design is not judged on looks alone. Pages must work well on phones, tablets and computers, load quickly and be usable by everyone. Many designers already lay out pages in Photoshop, but when the design is built as a real site, spacing, colours and type sizes often drift. Structuring the design around Bootstrap's grid from the start makes it faster and more accurate to build.

This course takes learners through designing web pages in Photoshop 2026 with artboards for each screen size, a 12-column grid and smart objects, preparing images with AI tools within sensible limits, and exporting images for the web. Learners then build the design as a web page with Bootstrap 5.3, using the grid, utilities, navbar, carousel, cards, modals and forms, customise the look with their own CSS and dark mode, and finish with a workshop that turns a Photoshop landing page into a responsive web page. (1 day, 6 hours, Beginner level.)

Frequently asked questions

How should you set up a Photoshop file for designing a web page?

Use RGB colour mode with pixels as the unit, create separate artboards for each screen size such as mobile, tablet and desktop, and set a 12-column guide layout that matches Bootstrap's container and gutters so the coded layout lines up. Name layers and group them by page section, such as header, content and footer, use the same character styles and colours throughout, and make repeated parts into smart objects.

How do you export images from Photoshop for use on a website?

Select the layer or artboard and use Export As, choosing JPG for photos and PNG where you need transparency. Adjust size and quality to keep files small, and export a double-size version for high-resolution screens. For smaller WebP files, use Save a Copy and choose WebP, and for frequent exports use Quick Export with your saved settings. Then place the files in your project's image folder.

How do you customise the look of Bootstrap 5.3 with your own CSS?

Create your own CSS file and load it after Bootstrap's, then set Bootstrap's CSS variables, such as the page background and fonts, and component-level variables such as button colours. Add your own classes rather than editing the original files, so you can upgrade later, and use data-bs-theme, supported in Bootstrap 5.3, for dark mode. This course writes custom CSS to match designs made in Photoshop.

Who is the Modern Web Design with Photoshop and Bootstrap 5 course for, and what should I know beforehand?

It suits designers who work in Photoshop, UX/UI designers, developers who turn PSD files into web pages, and corporate website maintainers. No coding experience is required, but you should have used Photoshop at a basic level, such as layers and text, and have Photoshop from your own Creative Cloud plan or a trial.

What will I be able to do after the Modern Web Design with Photoshop and Bootstrap 5 course?

You will be able to set up Photoshop artboards and grids that match Bootstrap, lay out web pages, prepare and export images for the web, build pages in Bootstrap 5.3 with menus, carousels, cards, forms and modals without jQuery, customise the look with CSS and dark mode, and check page speed with Lighthouse. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.

Can the Modern Web Design with Photoshop and Bootstrap 5 course be run in-house for our team?

Yes. IT Genius Institute runs in-house training for design and web development teams, with examples adapted to your own work, such as building web pages from design files your team already has. Sessions can be held onsite or online. Contact the institute for details and a quotation.
