Hi, ive made a template in photoshop, but im having difficulties. When i slice it and view it, its massive on the screen. How can i make it smaller? (e.g the banner at the top takes up about 1/3 of the screen.

You need to start with a smaller canvas. You can try to resize the original unsliced image down, but you may get distortion, fuzziness, and an all around non acceptable image.

Personallly if I'm going to do something that will need slicing, I use a 770 X 520 canvas.

you might have the DPI set too high or something, or when ur making it u might be viewing at 50% so when you come to view it full size, its huge. View at 100% in photoshop and then you know exactly how it's going to look in the finished site.
