I'm looking to try outsourcing some HTML/CSS coding - However.....

By Andrew Pollack on 03/07/2009 at 07:52 PM EST

For outsourcing html/css, I don't dare do a web search on it and just pick -- and I sure as hell don't want to pick from the ones that spam me. Who are you using?

I get pages in Illustrator that were put together from a "designer" (who just can't seem to understand that this is NOT a good design tool for the web). This happens at least once a month. I need to turn them into html/css. Once that's done, I rip sections of code out and replace it with dynamic content using Notes fields.

I'm considering running a bit of a bid contest -- send the same layout to two or three off shore code houses and see which gives me back the best result for the cost. Is anyone already using a resource for this that they like? This should be fairly cheap, commodity level work.

Facebook's latest change brings the topic to mind, but it can happen to you with internal applications as well. There comes a time when users begin to have a personal stake in the design of a good application. Facebook makes a great example for when your users really own your application.

Nearly all the comments were outstanding - but there's always one that really leaves me scratching my head.

On the 20th (a Wednesday) Lenovo shipped three packages to me. Two of them came from China. The first made the trip in the expected (and paid for) two days. The second seems to have spent days sitting in Shanghai and has so far chained itself to the wall in ......
