However, in setting up our service, we continuously compare it to higher priced services to make sure we are meeting or exceeding their standards. How we offer the lower pricing is a bit of a trade secret, but it has everything to do with efficiency - which we are continuously improving, I might add. All this to say that, having done the comparison, we really do match up with the higher priced competitors when it comes to quality and speed. If you send me an email, I can arrange for a free trial in exchange for feedback as to how we compare to the services you have tried. Keep up the great blogging! :) I completely agree that there is a very wide range of quality in service offerings from one provider to another.

However, as I'm sure you know, there is a very wide range of quality in the service that's given from one provider to another. So in my opinion, it's not a safe assumption to think that all things are equal aside from price. I've worked with 4 or 5 PSD to HTML providers in the past year and quality of work, service, and communication have not been the same from one provider to the next. Eric,

I believe price and value are in fact very deeply connected. From Wikipedia: In philosophy, value is a property of objects, including physical objects as well as abstract objects (e.g. actions), representing their degree of importance. The study of it is included in value theory. When it comes to any business decision, price is an object with a large degree of importance since it directly affects any bottom line. As a result, while price may not be the only part, it is definitely an INTEGRAL part of determining the value of something. This is why I disagree with your statement. That said, if you were to compare the quality of our code and the speed of our turnaround side by side with any of the more expensive firms out there, I challenge you to find an area where we don't come out equal or better. If you do, we refund your money! So with everything else being equal, we are left with price as the determining value factor. Hence, in my mind, making us a "no-brainer". But, of course, I'm biased :) Point taken, though I’m not so sure I agree with you when you say ” price and value are two completely different things.”

There are a lot of PSD to HTML providers that charge low prices, but that doesn't mean that value-wise they are a no-brainer. Eric,

Nice interview. I just have to lay this out there though: We do EVERYTHING Snobby Slice does. We are based in Canada. We offer full money back guarantees and free post-delivery support. Our prices are $99 for a homepage and $50 for each inner page. Value-wise, it's a no-brainer. Great blog! Nice interview. I just have to lay this out there though:

They are the same questions I had in the past. I did throw the last question in to give Tyler a chance to sell his services. If this info was not helpful to you, I'm sorry, but I think it was helpful to others. D Ross,
