As for coding a PSD/Image into a site - it's manual and requires skills with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc...

For applying your image you created to a media player of sorts, you'd have to probably obtain a skinnable flash player of some sorts, I'm not sure.

You will need to slicing all images/objects in Photoshop into separate image/layer and you will need to know about HTML/CSS to gather all of those sliced images/objects into a web page.

Do you need to put Music/Video as embedded object to your website?
If that so, you will need use HTML code with Flash Embedded object for example. Not sure if you can customize the GUI/Skin of its media player with your own image.

You need knowledge of atleast html and css. Without them, you can forget about getting a something coded nicely.

Your best bet would be to hire a coder. Coding isn't that expensive if you already have a design :)

I've seen as low as $10 per page but the average is $25/page for coding or higher if the person is well known for coding.

I'd ask to see some of their other work and run it through some validators first though.

Validation isn't a big of an issue. Using valid code validates the design. Its the cleanliness of the code. I had a friend who ordered coding for $15, and hell the code was more complex than you can imagine

btw, one BIG issue is cross-browser compatibility. Specially when IE is in a mood of playing games

You'll need to learn how to code PSD to HTML. Can take some time. Other than that you can hire a coder to code the template to html for a web server for you, if not what you can do is slice the template into images and then just upload what PhotoShop gives you and edit the coding its a good idea if you don't know how to code psd to html but you can also learn how to code while doing this.

yes i done all that but i don't know how to code it into my website i have never coded one before so i don't know the specific codes usually i get easy code layouts that i take and change around and change the colors and just take out the pictures and put mine so it looks totally different since i have really no time to do this stuff since i do need music and videos on there since i am a musician and also have my own fashion line coming out soon so that's what i need the layout for i already made it and sliced it i have never coded it yet...

I think your only choice in the matter is to code it yourself. You might get lucky to find somebody willing to do it for free so they can build a portfolio, but I wouldn't count on that. Your best bet is to start learning HTML and CSS. If you don't want to do that, then you will need to scrap your design and find a free template for a CMS, or god forbid, use a WYSWIG site builder.

Do you think it possible to use a little bit of punctuation to make your posts more readable in the future? That entire post had none. Thanks!

You had another post (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=943341) where you were asking to get help with coding. Perhaps sticking with that and trying to learn will solve your problem?
