Sorry I am not a fan of these sites they take away jobs from hard working coders and it cheapens the value of the product. No wonder some front-end designers are now pimping themselves out for 12.50 per hour.

Danielle,
You seem to not understand the basic principles of economics. These sites are a result of hard working coders, and if they can do it for cheaper than the next hard working coder, that’s a market victory.

May 27th, 2008
I agree with Danielle on that “it cheapens the value of the product.” These sites are great as a backup plan, but really, who can sit for 8 hours straight coding a valid XHTML web page? What about testing in different browsers? (I noticed some mentioned this.) These sites give the average Joe (or a new client) the idea that building a web site takes no time. Web Design shouldn’t be cheap, not if you put a lot of meaning and value into it. The finished product shouldn’t be discarded as something that’s just done and the next one is waiting in the assembly line. Sorry to rant, but this is how I feel about these sites.
May 27th, 2008
Dennison,
Yes, I have wondered who started this trend and when. It seems like they have been popping up everywhere within the past 6 months to a year. Maybe they were around before, but there are certainly more now.
Danielle,
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I don’t think this issue is isolated to design and coding. Many other industries face the same issues.
Misty,
I’d say most of these services mention testing in various browsers if you look through the details of their service. Yes, I do agree that there are some negative effects on the expectations of clients, but I think that also requires some educating of the client. Almost none of these services really design anything, they just convert a design into code. If you explain that to clients they shouldn’t expect you to do the design and the coding in that amount of time or for that money. That being said, I do wonder how the coding can get done so quickly in some cases.
May 27th, 2008
great compliation, don’t know most of this sites, hope we get people that will actually recommend the great ones to us.
Thanks

@Misty: Almost none of these services claim that building a website is a cheap affair. We totally acknowledge the fact that designing a website from the ground up, a good website at that is not going to come cheap.
As for developing a site, you will notice that none of the services do custom programming or custom CMS’, because if we get asked for a quote for that, we will ask for prices more suited to them.
Most of the prices here are for basic XHTML/CSS pages, which doesn’t take a hard working coder much time to do.

I run Finely Sliced, listed above. This is a freelance operation for me. Like any other web shop, I provide a quote for each project, based on the work involved, and the costs I need to meet in running the service.
By no means could I even consider supporting myself in the current Western Australian economy on a ‘pimped out’ 12.50 an hour.
May 28th, 2008
Agreed. These prices are pretty reasonable for PSD to HTML conversion. I generally charge my clients around $200 for this service.
May 29th, 2008
I’ve used PSD2HTML once and I was happy with the result. It wasn’t 8-hour turnaround, but they let me know in plenty of time that it was going to be a few hours late. I didn’t care about the turnaround, as it happened — a few days even would have been fine with me. I just wanted nice clean cross-browser markup. They did a nice job, and it wasn’t a particularly easy design.
May 29th, 2008
great information, thx a million
May 29th, 2008
I’ve used a couple of these companies. Probably the best in terms of markup abilities is PSD2HTML. The worst would be HTMLBlender. Both had turnaround times much longer than they state on their site, but when I did a validity check, psd2html came back with only 2 errors on a complex site, while HTMLBlender had too many to count for a fairly simple one. Not to mention, they didn’t even cross-browser check anything. Waste of time and money.
I would say psd2html, cssrockstars, and xhtmlgenius are worth trying first.

Hmmm. I have had the opposite experience as Diane says. I used psd2html and cssrckstars and both projects had many errors and I had trouble getting things fixed. I later used htmlblender and they did good for us. All code tested good at the validation tool from w3c, so I have kept on using them. I have not used the xhtmlgenius yet. I am now looking for a source of good designers, any ideas?
May 30th, 2008
Just took a peep at some of the sites listed above. They all employ the same lame “ImageReady slices fed to Dreamweaver” sorta hogwash.
Example: ul lists with links that all look and behave the same, but each and every list item and link is declared as its own class in the stylesheet. That kind of bloated CSS is a dead giveaway that Dreamweaver was in the workflow somewhere.
Some of the sites validate OK, but the W3C validators can by their very nature only check vocabulary and grammar. Hence the (X)HTML validator does not check semantics and the CSS validator does not check whether a stylesheet is a bandwidth hog which could be 300 lines shorter if somebody who knew the rules of the cascade removed the bloat.

June 6th, 2008
This is a terrific post, and some of the comments were outstanding. I’ve been talking about this trend to graphic designers for a year or so now. Designers are upset that online stock libraries are “cheapening” the industry and newbies are “pimping themselves out” which causes the whole industry to go down.
Is there some truth to this? Yes, there is.
But many of these designers feel the solution is to police o chastise people for not charging enough. My first question is, “Who decides how much is too much or too little”? See my point…
Whether it’s coding or design - money is out there, you just need to change, adapt and overcome what’s happening in the market. Complaining about it won’t solve anything.

If anyone is thinking of using CSS Rockstars, you may want to hear my story first. I wanted them to make a CMS template (Prestashop) for me from my design. At first they were very good. Replied to my emails promptly etc. Anyway, they got my design on a Monday. their site says 3-4 days turnaround. so, i email on friday to get an update. i didn’t hear anything until the following monday and i know that they have email support on weekends. no big deal. so then i’m told my project was supposed to finished that day but they had some delays and it would be finished on that thursday. ok, still no big deal, i wasn’t in a big hurry. thurs comes and goes. so i email again on friday. on sunday with no explanation whatsoever they refunded my money. after a few emails asking for an explanation i still got no response. so, they wasted my time for 2.5 weeks and never gave me an explanation. at least i got my money back and that’s the best thing i can say about them.
June 10th, 2008
I’ve had a very solid experience with both CSS Rockstars and PSD2HTML. I’ve done multiple projects with both and always been happy. I send most of my work to Rockstars now though because the code is easier to read plus they are in the us.

Experience as of June 7, 2008 with CSSRockStars.com
I’d avoid CSSRockStars.com as they delayed us for 2 weeks after promising to deliver in a few days and then ended up refunding the deposit without any explanations. IMHO, I’d rather deal with a company who is reliable and show some professional courtesy even if they charge a bit more. Yes, their code is excellent but if they disappear after promises, what is the good in excellent code that might have been?
CSSRockStars.com = AVOID

I also used htmlBlender and had a terrible experience. They have live chat and their people on that chat are so unprofessional and unknowledgeable. They will say anything to get your business, but unless it is a really easy job, they will foul it up every time. And don’t believe their 100% guarantee. It’s a load of bullocks as they refused after turning over a project that didn’t work. They said they weren’t responsible if the cms theme didn’t work as they only create the theme and don’t test it. And they never returned my request for the final markup, even after they had 100% of the money. Seriously - stay away. I’ll give a couple of other sites listed here a try. Or I’ll just hire in-house so I know it’ll get done right.
June 17th, 2008
HTMLBlender is truly horrible. I had several projects and all had problems. Every one was late and they all had poor cross browser coding. They were rude, late and completely unprofessional. I really wanted it to work out as I thought it was a great opportunity for a partnership for my business and I really feel like I gave it every chance but they were totally unapologetic about poor work and late delivery even when they garunteed a delivery date. AVOID

Thank you for adding KWebSoft to this list. I am the owner and do most of the slicings myself. Just wanted to let people know that we don’t do this “addons for additional price” thing, you get everything with a static price - valid xhtml strict, testing in various browsers etc.
The turnaround is two days, that’s basically the minimum safest turnaround to declare as you cannot possibly expect to slice everything under 8 hours as some of our competitors state.

Review on cssrockstars:
I gave these guys a shot recently. They were just a little late on the delivery (but they did notify me ahead of time they were running late), but other than that I thought these guys were friendly, competitively priced and a good overall value - I’ll use them again. I still would like phone support, but it doesn’t seem like anyone’s providing it…and these guys responded quickly over email.

I found htmlBlender to be very professional and pleasant to deal with. They also offered me a great discount on my inside pages. Great to work with!
July 10th, 2008
i agree. htmlBlender.com was by far the most affordable and they have live chat support. PSD2HTML and CSSRockStars cranked out some great code also. i had no issues at all with these sites.
July 10th, 2008
htmlblender is, by far, the worst i’ve ever used. 8 hours, my butt. Try three weeks, crappy code, and a lot of broken promises. They did, however, refund me the entire 300 dollars for all of my trouble, (but that was after I threatened to smear their name on every blog I could find). Funny, this is the first one I have been on; but, since you were doing a full story on these services, I felt obligated to tell all of you. STAY AWAY FROM THESE IDIOTS!

I would say html blender is the worst. We originally worked with XHTMLIZED which has amazing service but they get pretty pricey. But if you want great service, you have to pay for it. So for a smaller project, we decided to choose html blender because the price was good and there was a money back guarantee. They were absolutely horrible to work with. THey never responded to emails, never gave our work until I had to hound them on the live chat asking where our work was. Then they missed an item they charged us extra for and finally delivered after two days and we said it was too late by them and asked for our money back. They wouldn’t give it to us and until we demanded a chargeback did they refund it. Also the rep we had was Jonathan Klein who often posed as “Darren” who would always tell us Jonathan was out to lunch and would be back shortly. He never responded. They were just absolutely a horror to work with. Please avoid.
July 18th, 2008
Great and informative post! I hire developers and slicers all the time. I usually leave the slicing to the developer as part of the project but occasionally I do hire slicing services. I have used different businesses I’ve found on e-lance and have a good on going relationship with some of those developers.
I think PSD2HTML is the best I have used but you should be careful about requesting extras or adjustments that may have not been apparent when you created your PSD. PSD2HTML extras charges are very high. Otherwise I’ve found the work of the highest quality.
If anyone can recommend a reasonably priced PSD to Drupal Theme service please let me know.

I have had only one experience with CssRockStars and CssRockStars suck. They were late in delivering a template that does not work.

I can definitely say don’t use HTMLBlender. I haven’t found hardly any good opinions of them on the web and am currently on about day 7 of a project that was supposed to be 48 hr turnaround. The last status email said “programmer is out for lunch we’ll do your updates when he gets back”. I’m not paying them to tell me that they are on a lunch break. I payed them to get a conversion done in 1-2 days.
August 25th, 2008
Luke, at least you got a status email. We never got ours. Had to constantly email them and get on live chat and the rep would always tell us so and so was at lunch and would get back to us and never did. They said the delay was because they were moving into a new office.
August 25th, 2008
Folks,
Cheap does not necessarily mean good. In the end you get what you pay for. HTMLblender outsource their work to folks in Russia and India. No wonder they have problem getting back.

CSSROCKSTARS or CSS ROCKSTARS by Twenty Six Media LLC ended up canceling my order on the promised delivery day.
After paying them approx. 250 USD for a PSD to Wordpress conversion they have made me loose a full week in a website delivery project.
Initially I received no confirmation of the order and had to call and email myself. I got a response - from someone who was at home I think - that everything was in order. The next week I called/emailed again to see when my order would be done. They promised delivery on Thursday. Later than advertised but I can live with that.
Today on delivery day I receive an email that they have canceled my order because they have no time!! Horrible horrible experience and don’t recommend using them if you are ever on a deadline.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING CSS ROCKSTARS. (Google and see the other responses people put up about them). If they where ever good they aren’t anymore.
August 28th, 2008
For SEO purposes let me repeat that. Do not use CSSRockStars.com. They caused me terrible delays and other reviews online do not speak that highly about them (anymore) as well.

Please do not use cssrockstars. I sent them a PSD and full payment, they replied that the job would be done in 2 days. 2days later I receive a refund on my credit card but no response from cssrockstars. I then contact them and ask, “Why the refund?” They told me that they couldn’t finish it in time so they just gave up and stopped! Um, excuse me but I’ve got deadlines to meet. They should at least have let me know there was going to be a delay. So I told them to keep working and they promised me that the job would be finished in at least 3 days. Well, guess what? 3 days came and when with no XHTML in my inbox. I contacted them for several days and got no response. So I sent the PSD to W3-Markup and they finished it in 5 days. Perfect. No issues. Fuck cssrockstars.

Thats quite an impressive list!
But, there are some major problems with getting REALLY high quality PSD designs converted to HTML.
I’ve tried some of these providers and they’ve failed in doing that.
Thats why I prefer to approach a free-lancer personally in order to get this sorted.

On their web site they say they turn files around in 8 hours, but on both jobs it took them several days to complete, which was fine, I wasn’t actually depending on a 8 hour turn around. The code they write is fairly clean and readable. Though their attention to detail is lacking. They do the job to about 90% but the last 10% is a real chore to get done. I ended having to take screen shots in all the browsers and post them for them to look at explicitly. I’ve been going back and forth with them for weeks on one job. At one point the long support ticket dissappeared, not sure if it was a glitch or a fed up worker… Another thing I didn’t like was that your job doesn’t seem to have a dedicated developer, so I got replies from 3 different developers on my job. Seems inefficient to me… Another big thing in the downside is that they don’t support transparent images. In my case I had gradient backgrounds and rounded corners, they just cut them as jpegs and in most cases the background gradient didn’t match up with the jpeg’s gradient background. In a lot of cases, they seemed to take the easier route, so instead of making buttons a combination of text on a background image, they just made the button a image, which was ok as I didn’t think to specify in my initial instructions. On the upside the price is pretty good, especially if you have a lot of work for them to do, as they give you 50% off for any work submitted inthe following week after your first job. Bottom line is that you pay for what you get in this case. If you have simple jobs I’d say it’d be ok to go with them, but if you have more complex work, probably just do it yourself.

CSS ROCKSTARS have been the most rude, unprofessional coders I have ever worked with. I gave them 2 projects and they were utterly RUDE and unresponsive on both of them. DON’T USE THEM!!!
October 1st, 2008
I posted early in this thread about developers complaining that their talents were being cheapened by hacks that were offering bargain prices. I can understand their frustration (it’s like that in the graphic design world).
Since that post I’ve also noticed that several additional developers write a “me too” post, reminding readers that they offer services in this area. For example:
Turnaround - # of days
Starting price - $Cost
Additional pages - $Cost
http://www.somedeveloperswebsite.com
The trouble with this approach is the developer is not giving designers ANY other way to evaluate their firm other than price and speed. That’s make them a commodity…that drives down the price. If you only compete on price, you can expect not to be paid well.
How not to compete on price:
Developers, take a look at what designers are complaining about in these posts…
* Missing delivery dates
* Inconsiderate, rude responses
* Canceling projects
* No phone support
* Not responsive
* No consistency when it comes to who is working on the project
Developers - this is a golden opportunity for someone to come in, address these issues and make a butt-load of money, who wants to step up?
Good luck to you all - the one who addresses these issues the best, wins the game.

We only started a few months ago but we’re very happy that most (if not all) of our clients are repeat clients. We don’t promise an 8-hour turnaround, but we do respect our clients deadlines.
As much as we can, we adjust to our clients need and offer them a much more personalized service. We’re very happy that 100% of our feedbacks have been all positive.
So for those who are still left undecided, we’d be glad to hear from you. Give us a shot, we’re sure you won’t regret it - http://www.yummycss.com

It’s kinda hard to post after YummyCSS and not just write “what he said”.
We’ve launched just recently with a separate PSD2HTML service but we’ve got years of experience in slicing designs to valid and accessible XHTML/CSS templates.
We are neither the quickest nor the cheapest of all the services mentioned above, but it’s not because we are lazy and greedy;) Good coding requires thinking the project through and paying a lot of attention to details. It always pays off in the long run (or as soon as you show the template to your developer and he doesn’t have to change half of it to make it work).
If you are looking around for the best fit for your project, we’d be more than happy to answer all your questions. You can find us at http://www.cssninjas.com/.
October 12th, 2008
I wonder if folks would pay $1000 for services that lived up to the advertised expectations. Ie, solid code, delivery in 8 hours, dedicated developers, phone support, consistency etc etc. Or… perhaps being cheap is more critical, than the values folks are fussing about. There is nothing inherrantly wrong with either approach, other than advertising one thing and delivering another. Going uber commodity with a you get what you pay for approach is a valid business practice, just as going boutique and delivering value above and beyond customers expectations is as well. My guess is the lions share of the business lies closer to the commodity domain than the boutique one… If ones time to market cost/day figure is either unknown, or is very low, the commodity model likely works just fine. Its only when other factors like aggravation, or a spendy time to market cost/day figure that drives the high value model.

I used CSS Rockstars for the first time a while back and got a good (though delayed) project back. It was excellent code.
When I contacted them a second time about another job, the person I had been in contact with had apparently left or was fired from Twenty Six media. I was told the e-mail would be forwarded and I would get a response. Nothing came and I e-mailed them again from their website. They responded and asked about my project, but then I never heard from them again.
For Google: CSS Rockstars review. Not good. Would not use again.
October 15th, 2008
Hi my name is Thomas and I have been designing and coding themes for various CMS systems over the past 10 years. I have finally settled on Wordpress as it is probably the only system that is very flexible and easy to use.
I just opened up my service site and offer a quality over quantity service model. I believe that the customer does get what they pay for. I wont take a project if I feel I cannot meet the deadline for the project. It isnt good for me but more importantly its not good for the customer. I would rather refer them somewhere else so they can get their work done.
So I see everyone else is stating what they charge, so I’ll do the same:
Turnaround -2 of days
Starting price - $100 psd to xhtml/$150 PSD to Wordpress
Additional pages - $0 - additional pages included
My Site: http://www.tsquez.com

I had a similar experience as Drew with CSS Rockstars. They used to be decent. While there would be delays and errors, at least they were responsive and worked with you to get it right. Now the “service” they provide is complete garbage, and when they do actually respond they are unfathomably rude and unprofessional. I’m actually being gracious by saying “they”. I fairly certain the company amounts to one guy working out of his parents basement. I’d be irate too if my Halo 3 death match was being interrupted every 30 seconds by confused clients.
DO NOT USE CSS ROCKSTARS

Finely Sliced has been given a facelift, mainly to reflect our position in the psd/html marketplace, i.e. offering quality. Feel free to give us a shout. We don’t have the capacity to deal with bulk projects, or turn them around in 8 hours. But we do offer regular clear communication, and quality code.
Thanks.

I am looking for a slicing company to outsource our Email/Newsletter designs to that is well versed in reader compatibility requirements. We are currently using a company, but they have returned back work that has needed heavy revamps from our development team. It would be prefferable if they were located in the U.S. but we could work with the Canada or UK as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
November 6th, 2008
I recently used psd2html.com for this exact need. They did a good job and have options when you order for compatibility.

Hi! Our company outsource a lot of coding work so we tested almost each and every one of this services. My last discovery are guys from cssninjas.com . We’re really happy with their code - great quality, quick turnaround, affordable pricing. No problem with signing NDA and the customer service is really fantastic (ask for Chris). Thumbs up!
November 7th, 2008
you should remove cssrockstars from the lit they are horrible and left so much after they delivered the code it took me 3 weeks to correct it all! And Topher is so rude! He basically lied to me and treated me like an idiot — BEWARE!!!

Most of the companies listed here are simply rubbish - don’t know what a proper code is. But what can you expect for a $100?
Currently we work a lot with CSS Ninjas - never had any issues with their code. Previously with XHTMLized and W3 Markup - very good too, but got too expensive.

We switched to CSSNinjas.com and could not be happier! They are incredibly excellent and professional. We get responses back about how long a project might take and what to expect, as well as lots of questions to clear anything up about how we might want the XHTML done.
When they deliver the code, they give thorough explanations about anything that might confuse anyone. They do plenty of “extra mile” things, such as sometimes providing a website icon, SEO optimizations and keyboard shortcuts to the XHTML. It’s awesome and great! I highly recommend them!

Without dumping my dirty laundry in detail here, I’m just warning others to hopefully prevent their experience the same as I had.
