Basics of Psd to Xhtml Conversions4

“PSD” is used for Photoshop design. PSD files are the design files which web designers prepare for any respective site to put on. These files are mere pictures or the imitations of one’s creative thinking. They are the stills as they lack any movement and usability. After designers pass their piece of architecture to web developers, these pictures get life and they start their assigned functionalities.

The codings which are responsible for the navigational structure of the site are done in XHTML/HTML/CSS mark ups. These codings are responsible for the behavior of web pages on web browsers. The coding of web site must be done very carefully as the assessment of the web site depends upon its usability. Earlier, web developers used to code the designs in table forms but now they do it in more relaxed and sophisticated manner which is called d ivs (divisions).

To explain it better, let’s say there is a web design. Now developers will slice the whole design into specific divisions and then they perform their coding exercise. But earlier they used to make tables of the whole design and then code them all, which was a very cumbersome task and little tacky too to inspect the whole coding, if needed.

Hey, no need to create a mess in your brain, if you didn’t get it right. It’s all technical insight and as a client you may not need this but there are many other things that must be in your knowledge like the services and features which various slicers and PSD to XHTML converters are providing:

1. Source Files Format- Hand coded images ( PSD, AI, JPEG, PNG and others) to XHTML.

2. Cross Browser Compatibility -The xhtml conversion which is friendly to most commonly used browsers like FireFox, Internet Explorer (6 and 7), Safari, Opera, etc. Any compatibility mismatch results in the uselessness of conversion.

3. Hand coded XHTML Strict markup- All the codes are written 100% manually and no automated tools are used to ensure highly optimized codes.

4. Fast Delivery- The slicing doesn’t take much time. Generally one or two business days for each internal page are taken and rest depends upon the complexity and length of the page.

5. W3C Validation- This checks the markup validity of Web documents in HTML, XHTML, etc.

6. Unchanged Originality- All the conversions are done maintaining the originality of the design of structure.

7. Implementation of CSS/XHTML into third party CMS, shopping carts, blogs and more. These are the common features which all services providers give in their packages.

The only thing which may differ one from another is the professionalism and quality of work and this can be judged only when you avail their services. Your experience can be useful to someone looking for these services. This is the reason why blogs, forums and other social forums are very popular to get the reviews about any such service provider.
