Link without the blog spam - boredzo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10CSS... *or* XHTML?
I want a CSS-only webpage. No XHTML for me! - therage96, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Maybe its just me, but I always found that converting my design from PSD to XHTML/CSS was the easy part in the whole web design process. However, coming up with the actual design and coding the backend are the more time consuming parts.
- sintaks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7You guys need to pull your heads out of your asses. If _you_ have the time and technical ability, then this obviously isn't for _you_. If you don't have the "time, resources or inclination", then it might be worth checking out.
Take, for example, my company. We're a PHP shop (yes it hurts, yes it pays the bills) - we don't do _any_ design whatsoever. We work with design companies to do that kind of work for us. But sometimes someone comes to us with a design that's not worth farming out to one of the local companies. It would be a waste of our time to do it (plus we really, really hate design work). This is a cheap and viable solution, provided they do a good job. Yes, $150 is cheap. So quit bitching about how you should just 'save yourself the money and do it yourself'. You could also grow your own food, kill your own meat, plumb your own house and make your own clothing, but you know what? It's not worth the hassle. - joaob, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10$150 is kind of steep. I can get a Romanian teenager to kick back valid CSS/XHTML within 24 hours for $50.
- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6First off probably 9/10 people on this site that claims they could do the same thing is probably full of *****.
Second, if they claim they could do it for cheaper, they are retarded because they are pretty poor businessmen.
Seriously, the content of comments on this site has just plummted in quality as of late. Thank god you can bury comments.
Finally, on the actual topic, I took a look at the source for the sites they have in the portfolio, and they have some great code in there. Hopefully a lot of people use a company like this and we can finally clean up the internet. - paulwilde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That's not XHTML/CSS though.
- paradoxic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7No doubt, just post around on some forums and cut out the middleman. This is a waste of eyeball time.
- Scruffydan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5or it could be that Techcrunch reviews some cool stuff, and digg users who also read tech crunch (I am am one of those) submit and digg these stories because they think they are digg worthy.
As for linking to techcrunch and not the company directly, I prefer techcrunch because they give some useful info about the company with less spin than what is found on the companies websites. (this is NOT the case for most blogspam out there) - lostboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5how is this news? I give a design for a site to a company (maybe a photoshop mockup) and they have it done by the end of the week. woop di do.
- john608, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Cool idea. I wonder how good the final result would be. And would it be easy to modify the CSS they returned? That would be the entire reason for doing it.
- pbjorge12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5You could get a United States Teenager to do it for 50 dollars too...*hint hint*
- uahgekido, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The whole "automatic layout creation from image file" was the first thing that popped in my head when I first saw the headline.
+50 Radness to the first person to implement it. - evileddie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5No Digg! Lame....If it automatically did this in an hour or so then it woudl be cool.
How is this different than a web design company? - Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I laughed because I myself am a Romanian teenager that can make valid XHTML in a short ammount of time. No money though...
- Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The website they showed is XHTML and CSS but it is also tagsoup and not semantically correct. For example, the question and answer thing should be an unordered list, not paragraphs.
- BloodJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@logicNYC, you have some very good, thought provoking points.
I would just like to add that diggers that are common across two stories from the same site can be explained a number of ways.
TechCrunch has, at the time of writing this, over 75,000 feed subscribers. Many of those are diggers who are liable to attempt to submit an article.
This article's submitter submits many TechCrunch articles. 21 people have also befriended him are therefore more likely to digg his submissions.
I'm not saying there isn't a conspiracy at hand. Democratic systems like this are often ripe with opportunities for corruption. This just makes it hard to determine (and prove) a conspiracy is in our midst. - fintan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Too right! Interesting how you're being dugg down, too.
- Deputaats, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In my country $100 is very good price for valid CSS/XHTML. I'm a designer+programmer (freelancer).
- SlashNot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yes, but that is nothing like CSS
- simd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Any links? I'd be delighted to find someone who could reliably do this within a week for $50.
- JoPettitt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Good-tutorials has loads of decent tuts on how to do this yourself and save some bucks.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+8XHTMLized? Lame. get the hell out of here.
- bobonot, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Agreed, buried as spam.
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Retarded.
Reported as lame - jeremymcanally, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Hello, ImageReady?
Geez. Take 15 minutes to cut your design up in ImageReady, File > Save Optimized... Voila! Saved $150. - bontaq, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Marked lame.
- JK1150, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Spam
- JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Website name? Crap.
Brown and yellow? Crap. Literally.
Javascript testimonial thing? Crap.
The Price? Crap.
Solution? Just go to w3schools or something. Don't wast 150 big ones on this pile of *****.
Also, why are they supplying a gmail address as their main email contact? Makes them a bit less reputable in my opinion. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Then do it and ***** off. What does that comment have to do with this story?
