    Hi,

    These guys seem to offer PSD to HTML services but they also turn a PSD into a 3 page Joomla site (homepage, standard page and contact page, i think) which sounds very handy.

    Their site is here

    I was originally going to chop up the PSD myself and learn how to integrate it into a Joomla but it sounds like this company could save me time and money.

    Has anyone used them or are there similar companies (that integrate Joomla) ?

    Thanks for any advice.

    If their own site is anything to go by (nested tables, spacer gif's, etc) then no... steer well clear. They don't have a clue what they're doing.

    You'd be just aswell off doing it yourself to be honest.

    Slightly off topic but has anyone tried using the export to CSS & HTML function on Fireworks CS4?

    Joomla's not the best. You should have a look at Expression Engine.

    one look under the bonnet of that site tells me to stay clear.

    Nothing like a DIY job based on a template - looks the same as any amateurs site and saves $300 - €500

    I accidentally came accross this thread and decided to offer my 2 cents. I recently used their service and after 5 days I received the zip file with the wordpress theme as promised. I also needed some changes to be done after the project was completed and they did them free of charge.

    Nice first post Mr Martian. I'd highly recommend learning the basics of professional Web design - a.k.a Web standards and best practices for marking-up contemporary websites. Because what you're churning out is a bit crap really. Then again your prices are fairly decent. You get what you pay for I suppose.
