What separates us is the fact that we offer person to person service. When you place a call, you get a person.... We have found this strong communication with our clients has really helped us pull away from the pack. Thanks and looking forward to helping in the future! Hey Nate,

We’d love to offer you the same type of trial work for your work….we find that almost all of the companies offer very similar services. What separates us is the fact that we offer person to person service. When you place a call, you get a person….

We have found this strong communication with our clients has really helped us pull away from the pack.

Thanks and looking forward to helping in the future!

I've done this in the past as a side job and found it very enjoyable (especially since I'm not a very good designer) Is this market saturated? Is this a service designers need on a regular basis or is it drying up? I’ve been thinking about doing this as a full time gig especially while I work on improving my server side skills.

My build was somewhat complex so there was a bit of back and forth, and they missed a few requirements, but fixed all issues fairly quickly. I'm not a hardcore front end developer so I can't speak to the nuts and bolts of their code standards, but it did pass W3C strict guidelines, and they were really great to work with. Overall I would definitely use them again if the need came up. Overall, depending on the need and type of work, these slicing services are amazing. I'm sure it challenges those of you who are essentially contending with their skill set, but for certain jobs this service works very well. That said, I'm a fairly collaborative guy, and love working hand in hand with savvy developers who bring something to the table. That level of interaction was definitely missing from this situation, but I knew that going into it. To Paul's note above, I use http://www.mostsliced.com as a resource for my search. Great little site. I actually just used PSD2HTML a few months back.

Pretty good over all. Focus was on matching the PSDs (which was good) but the code overall was aslo well formatted and clean. I ended up taking the initial work and breaking out CSS into more of a "framework" (for lack of a better term). But when we sent those files back to them for some add-on work, they did a good job of following the file structure and document structure that I had had updated. And they were good on their word for timelines. Due to the location (Eastern EU?), there were some funny translations in some of the ID names. But over all, pleasantly surprised and they helped us hit some tight deadlines on a multiple projects, when the proverbial sky was falling. Cheers and hope this helps.

For me, it's about hitting a comfortable level with the results. I'm finding that it's becoming increasingly important to outline my expectations from the beginning. In doing so, I'm happier with the results. If things are missed, it's easy to go back and say, "this is what I asked for." If you don't ask then it's harder to complain. Also, some of these services are run by people just making some extra cash on the side. <a href="http://www.xhtmlgenius.com/" rel="nofollow">XHTML Genius</a> is an example. I know the guy and the results I can expect but he doesn't always have the availability since he has other projects to work on. PS: A hero? I blush. :) Paul, that’s a great link and I’ve updated my list of services to point to it.
