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.

Barefootsies - is your avatar YOU or George Michael?

table2css is horrible, it doesnt do it correctly

Well maybe there is other programs which do that operation better.Or it can be still used for conversion and fix later code with css error detector(i think there is free program which does that)

Not hating on you or your coder, but requiring a special html output for a program isn't worth $1k... if you're paying that for it, it should be easily skinned, it doesn't take much to seperate html from the code and make it so you can use css, or tables.

Does it matter to the search engines or load times if you have a css file or a style setup in html?

Not this shit again...

Konrad will be doing the CMS, and code work. However, he, like many good programmers do not do design. Hence, this this thread.
:disgust

Not trying to argue with you, just stating that you shouldn't require css or tables in a design for a script, the buyer should be able to use anything they please...

Cardinal Vices is a studio made of 5 people. Each of us is doing its own task, so that helps us with managing large orders that require every bit of knowledge. We have a programmer, flash specialist, cartoonist, banner pro and webdesigner. Because we operate from Ukraine, we offer competitive rates. I need to know more about what needs to be done to be able to make you our price offer, but I do want to mention that our clients are getting support for the work that we do. So if there is an issue, it will be resolved.

If you are ok with us working for you on another side of the planet, please drop me an email to sales 'at' cardinalvices 'dot' com with project description.

Thanks mate. Right now I am uncommitted on designer. So will peep out your rates.

:Oh crap:Oh crap

ty for posting this, i was waiting to see it...

Haha... Most of you can't read. He said "Ladies". Hahaha!

This is the best plugin I have ever purchased for anything. I learned more CSS just from playing with this thing. You have to tweak some things here and there, but it if you use it properly...which isn't hard...it spits out valid xhtml/css every time.

They have a validation process that requires you to have a legit copy of Photoshop. So that probably stops a lot of people in their tracks.

A bump for you and good luck.

Did you check the prices of Cardinal Vices already? I do recommend them as they did this tableless CSS design for me and I think it's pretty sweet:
