PSD to HTML - Do it right!

Today PSD to HTML and PSD to XHTML play both significant and critical roles in web design and development. Success and failure of any website or web application can also sometimes depend on these basic PSD to XHTML/CSS conversions. If your XHTML code is not perfect or not up to the mark users will move on to some other service provider. Good web design is important as it gives your customers their first impression. If your site does not look good on your customer’s browser, you could lose you customer forever. 

There are many tools which automate your PSD to XHTML conversion, but so far none of them seem to produce good results why? It seems no tool can read your design, these tools can’t understand the importance of HTML tags and parts of your design. This can be one of the critical things that search engines may see. It’s always recommended to go for manual PSD to HTML conversion services. 

PSD to HTML conversion services can be low cost ie: £20 for the home page and £10 or 50% for each inner page. You don’t redesign your website every day, do you? So this small investment can bring down your SEO cost if done in proper way. Your XHTML code should be valid and more importantly should be search engine friendly. It should use all the latest techniques and be at least one step down browser compatible. Code should have proper comments and CSS should be in separate files. All java script should be in separate files, your code should be neat and easy to understand. There should be no unwanted code or unwanted CSS. Your page loading time should optimized and this can be easily achieved once your code is perfected. Your page loading time has a major role to play in search engines. If your page takes too long to download due to bad coding, your customers will not wait, they will move on. 

There are number of companies like PJD Web Design who provide low cost high quality PSD to CSS/HTML conversion services.
