Guys I've never done a website before, however I was asked to design a website in photoshop, and of course I will do my best to follow the organizational layer rules for easy coding or whatever. I'm a print designer, and I was wondering if I can design a website in a higher DPI I know everything web is 75 DPI? I'm not if I explain myself correctly. Any tips welcome.

72dpi
google "960 12 column grid" and start designing from that. no need to up the DPI.

Take a look at this:

More columns, better flexibility. It is my favourite one.You might also look at the baseline grid from teehan+lax:

DPI is an oddball myth... depends on your screen size and resolution, but 72 or 96 is semi-standard when doing a mockup... say you're looking at a 12 inch laptop at 1024x768 or a 17 inch desktop monitor at the same resolution? where's the DPI there???? most larger monitors are higher resolution, but beware that those old-school guys in finance may have OLD monitors and odd screen sizes and they may have to approve your stuff....

when going from print design to web design, unpredictable vertical expansion of body text is a HUGE issue... in the print world, you control font metrics completely,so you can line everything up, say with the bottom of your text...... in the web world, even with CSS, you don't have total control of how long your body text will be, so you have to make sure elements will stretch elegantly on the sides of the body text, and try not to line stuff up at the bottom of the text edges without some testing....
