I’ll do it as a pattern
so,

1/ create a new document say 50px*50px at 100ppi
2/ fill the background with any colour you want
3/ create a new layer
4/ apply the rules and change the units to pixels
5/ select the rectangular marquee tool and make a selection of 1 or 2 px height (whatever you want)and 50px wide
6/ add selections by pressing caps in order to make stripes and make sure you end by a blank zone if you began by a stripe and vice versa. 7/ fill with the foreground colour, deselect.
at this stage you may want to apply a slight "directionnal blur" to the top layer.
8/ flattern your layers and select all
9/ edit> define as pattern (as I use the French version it’s possible that it’s a bit different)
10/ name the pattern
11/ make a new document sized as the background of the site 12/ edit> fill >fill with pattern select your pattern 13/ then rotate and or change the scale with free transform the way you want.

make some tests with the heights of the selections to fit your needs. and
sorry for that unbeareable english (I surrender).
