Cool Tool for the HTML Impaired

By jimdiggitydog

I’m really not a huge fan of building websites. I do like designing them - but the building can be a bit of a drag. Over the years, I’ve figured out how to design around the limitations of browsers and users, but it’s a fine art (not literally,) and it can be very tedious.

I also know there are a lot of designers out there that either don’t know how to code, or just don’t have the time to code. I’m hoping to move into the latter by having too much illustration and design work to never have the time to do the coding. One day!

But - I’ve found a place that takes the drudgery out of site design. PSD2HTML.com You send a PSD of your page design, they send you back the W3C valid XHTML site. Sweet!

They’re not all that cheap, at $153 for a single page - but if you think about the time that’ll save in the building and coding, it’s well worth it. You can always duplicate the page and tinker with the code on your own dime, too. They’ve got a lot of options (like WordPress/Blogger/Joomla integration) and it’s certainly an easy alternative to sitting for hours parsing HTML and pulling your hair out.

(And no, I’m not making a penny off these guys. I don’t even know them, but I’ve seen the work and the source coding - very slick!)
