Step 9:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending option to your gray rectangle.

Step 10:
Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Arial, bold, 13 pt, none and black for color. In a new text layer add your first link on the tab, I used ‘About’.

Step 11:
Add the rest of your navigation links, keep it professional and add a custom tab for each link.

Step 12:
Again select your Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Eras Demi ITC, regular, 30 pt, strong and black for color. In a new text layer type the name of your website right above your navigation system. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options.

Step 13:
Add your logo next to your name. If you dont have a logo you can also Download The PSD File for the logo used in this tutorial or Read The Tutorial on how to design the logo.
