I, my team - do allot of our own work, but take large mainstream clients mainly, large development projects - custom 2.0, custom CRM's, online tracking systems, on-the-fly video tagging for production modules, real viable products - things like that.
2 examples:
#1 - video player scheduling via time zones, where a single player works off internal admin created lists, allows for commercial inserts - and works very much like TV stations do, but for the web. (i am co-inventor, w/ legal, no BS patent pending - number allocated, for this one)
#2 - custom online studio, via java (can be used on cell phones as well) - sorta like apples garageband, or protools, etc. Multi layer track creation - before anyone thinks this is a good idea. We knew of server processor and memory issues with this upfront, bridging that gap without a grid, or extreme cluster ... not working out to be practical.
I am co-inventor for 2 technology patents pending, the above #2 (isnt one) - why bother.
I'm not telling you this brag, you dont know me. I'm trying to show you I'm not a complete ass clown when it comes to design/dev. I didnt just start playin with a computer last week. 10K+ for a patent done correctly from a specialized patent attorney that can fight for its validity, and defend it aggressively against copycats. YES, i can prove it.
We have been at it since 95-99 collectively amongst the team.
CSS is without question more difficult then just slice/dice design to html, with a CSS reference for use with div's.
I was trying to let you know, that really there isnt a great reason to spend the extra money - perhaps you'll disagree ... about 13-14 years of this (which would make the public beginning in many ways) - says why, why bother? Its not gonna bring any extra appeal or revenue (ouch!) - and it would be more expensive (it takes more time, less people can actually do it, its more difficult).
Designers - good designers, arnt typically code writers. CSS, HTML - while low-end would be code. Sr. Level Graphic Designers are appraised by their skills for principles and application of AI, Photoshop, and Flash (excluding complex actionscript).
Sum it up, can we do it - 100%, no question. Will we do it for pennies - as clearly "affordable" is subjective ... nope. I don't know you man, but I dont see the point in you wasting your money either. That's all.
