Setting Up The Background

Create a new document 1200 x 1200 pixels, set your foreground color to #3e3e3e and background Imgcolor to #191919. Select the gradient tool with a radial gradient.

Once you have the radial gradient selected, start from the top middle of the canvas then drag downwards about halfway down. Now go to "filter - noise - add noise", use the settings below.

You canvas should now look something like this.

Using the same method as explained above create another rounded rectangle inside the navigation. Fill the rectangle with the color white.

Img

Now set the opacity of the white rectangle to 8% then add your navigation links.

Img

Inbetween each navigation link add a small circle using the elliptical marquee tool.

Img

Fill the circle using the color #00688f then add a drop shadow using the settings below.

Img

Your navigation should now look like this.

Img

Creating The Content Area

Underneath the website title and navigation add a catchy sentance of some sort, then using the rectangular marquee tool create a rectangle on the right side.

Img

Add a gradient overlay to the rectangle you just created using the settings below.

Img

Inside the rectangle add some dummy content. Use the color #373737 for the titles and a size of 14pt, for all paragraphs use the color #898989 with a size of 12pt. Also within the content area throw in some snazzy icons in a nice list form, the icons ive used are from woothemes.

Img

Creating The Sidebar

Duplicate your content rectangle layer, then drag the duplicated layer underneath its orginal. Press "ctrl + t" to free transform the rectangle, resize the rectangle to a thin rectangle, then move it side by side to the content rectangle.

Img

With your duplicated rectangle layer still selected go to "edit - transform - perspective". Select the top left anchor point and move it downwards whilst holding down the shift key on the keyboard.

Img

Update the gradient overlay on the duplicated rectangle to the settings below.

Img

Duplicate the content rectangle once more, resize the rectangle using the free transform tool. The rectangle should be resized to fit side by side the first rectangle we duplicated.

Img

On each crease where the rectangles meet, add a divider using the color's specified below. The dividers should span the whole height of the each crease.

Img

You should have something like this.

Img

Adding The Sidebar Content

Using the type tool and the plus icon from the woothemes icon set, create a simple list displaying dummy content.

Img

Inbetween each list item add a dotted divider. You can easily create the dotted divider by using the type tool and hold down the full stop key. (.........)

Img

Underneath the list add a simple learn more button. Select the rounded rectangle tool with a radius of 15px same as our navigation bar, drag out a small sized button then fill with any color. Right click the navigation layer and go to "copy layer styles", right click the learn more button layer and go to "paste layer styles".

Img

Repeat the steps above to create more plans as needed.

Finally inbetween each plan add a divider to seperate the content. Create two 1 pixel lines using the colors below.
