PSD to Wordpress

Phaser · 7 Oct 2008 at 22:52

Got a few designs for a site I would like doing in Wordpress, home page, contact form, content pages etc. The homepage will need some php coding in there to include latest posts from my forum and also the latest image from my gallery2 installation.

How much am I looking at do you reckon? I've seen quite a few services online but they tend to go by each PSD plus that dosen't include the extra bits I need.

Also is it worth using Indian companies?

Cheers

Use whoever you feel comfortable with for price, past work and how they sound over emails/skype etc

There is a website called psdtoxhtmlreviewer.com or something similar. I asked how you can get a website reviewed, basically if you want to be #1 you pay him $600, its nothing to do with reviewing the service so beware of websites like that

Don't know anyone that has used them. But I remember it being blogged about quite a bit when it launched and the prices seem reasonable. So it's worth checking out.

I think PSD2Html offer WordPress template support. I've used them in the past and the markup is generally ok.

I've used several of these companies and the two pieces of advice i'd give you are to completely ignore their turnaround time. They are generally so oversubscribed, and base their estimates on the most basic of pages that a "48 hour" turnaround is more like a week and a half. The second would be to always include an annotated version of the PSD (in a Word document or something) describing all the details like what boxes should expand in what direction, how text will flow, where different numbers of items will appear.. otherwise they can make incorrect assumptions and it takes a while to sort them out.
