Is it possible to Style without any CSS ?(with just using photoshop like apps)

I am a rookie web developer. I am trying to learn Rails. I was just wondering can I style my rails app without any CSS?

Or at least using Photoshop like apps for major part of design.

I don’t want to lose time learning CSS. However I do want to learn Photoshop.

Can I style all my pages with Photoshop?

By styling, I mean:

  • Where every element is gonna be?
  • How buttons will look?
  • Adding background images and colors?
  • Changing text styles? etc. etc.

And if it is possible, can you guys suggest me a tutorial on how to do it?

Thank You Already.

    You have to use css :

    Yes. Use illustrator, photoshop, whatever to make your design. It
    won’t be a website, but it will be a website design that you designed.

    To make the website design into a website, you will need CSS unless it
    is just plain text which nobody will like!

    here is a website witout css : http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

    You cannot create a decent website using only a photo editing tool. The problem is the difference in mediums – A webpage’s look changes depending on the screen space available. For example, text may use two lines instead of one if there isn’t enough space. Imagine constantly changing margins, paper size and/or orientation in Word. An image doesn’t change like that.

    I’ve seen Photoshop plugins that claim to generate HTML and CSS for you but it is all static/absolutely positioned. This is not considered a good practice for a modern website.

    I would recommend that you either find another tool, or you learn the front end languages (HTML, CSS, JS)

    Unfortunately you have to use css to style webpages, but if you have Adobe Dreamweaver then it makes the whole designing a lot easier it’s a partially WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. Alternatively you could use a framework like bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com) or w3.css (http://w3schools.com/w3css). In terms of tutorials (http://w3schools.com/css) is quite good I think that alternatively you could use (http://codeacadamy.com) to learn.
    Hope this helps…
