Design-to-HTML/CSS services deliver cheap, fast, quality results.

Last week, Smartlife wrote a review of CSSRockstars and found that there are plenty of other HTML/CSS conversion companies out there worth a look — for example, XHTMLizers, XhtmlMagic, PSDChopstick, W3 <MARKUP/>, and many others.

Given the large number of companies who perform HTML/CSS conversion as a service (i.e., transform website designs into hand-coded markup), it’d be a challenge to narrow the playing field down to just one that meets everyone’s unique requirements across the board. (Although, over time, as the service becomes even more commoditized,…

I better delegate some of these to-dos so I can see where I’m going.

On the surface, it may seem like an obvious decision — surely you’re vital to getting the majority of your work done. But when you look at the wide variety of services different virtual assistants offer, you’ll realize that there are plenty of others who can get things done for you. The challenge becomes figuring…
