CSS vs. HTML 4- - GoFuckYourself.com

digitaldivas · 01-27-2013, 12:28 AM

I was going to change my whole network over to css and html 5, but worried about conversion ratios. Maybe the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality might be at work here. My conversions for digitaldivasonline.com is -1:500 overall. ...And the sites have personality maybe.

Plus at this point, other than cleaning up the html, I would have this same format anyway... I mean, I get freaking emails from surfers stating how much they enjoy surfing DDO

I dunno, example page is below. What do you guys think? Would there really be a
huge difference going to pure css and html? I think it renders correctly in every browser...

feedback is welcome

it looks, good, works in all browsers now? leave it. Maybe clean up the code a little but no need to rewrite for html5 / css3

i kind of run with "if it aint broke dont fix it". but thats bitten me in the ass more than once. if youve got the energy to do it now, do it I say. New devices coming out, and browser updates are constantly happening. it wont hurt you to stay ahead of the curve

If you're not going to convert it, try to fix the html errors. Most are affiliate links that you can't really do anything about but there are some you can fix.

Nothing worse than trying to get something done in a rush.

HTML 5 is the future...embrace it...

After a massive update like that I always get a big bump form the SE's
