Measuring Success: PSD to HTML Conversion
Written by admin on July 20, 2009

How to measure that PSD to HTML service provider has done a good job in converting your design to markup?
In our previous articles,
“16 Good Questions to Ask before hiring PSD to HTML provider” and
“What’s The Right Price For PSD to HTML Conversion?”, we discussed how to select a PSD to HTML service provider and how much to pay. Continuing our discussion, in this article we will discuss how to verify the code quality.
When we hire a company to code the website in html, we expect the final code to be w3c validated, compatible with all major browsers, operating systems and fully optimized for search engines.
Below is a short list of guidelines to determine how good of a job the provider is doing,
* w3c validation – Both markup and css should be validated. You can test it yourself by checking the code using http://www.w3.org/
For CSS validation, try http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
For HTML validation, try http://validator.w3.org/
* Browser compatible – there are many online services available like www.browsercam.com and www.browsershot.org, where you can check your website on different browsers and operating systems. At this link, you can check the listing of websites which are providing this service.
* Separation of content from style – all the styling should be done in CSS.
* File and image optimization – HTML, CSS and images should be optimized for search engines.
* External CSS and javascript – all the CSS and JavaScript should be defined externally.
Following these guidelines you can test the quality of the code written by your PSD to HTML service provider.
Please feel free to add any more test, you think, can be conducted to check the code quality.

Add code comments – most PSD to HTML slicing work is a markup that needs to be added to the actual pages. Having commented code makes the job simpler. Customer support is an important ingredient.
