Take a PSD and slice it into front end code is trivial

It's boring, repetive and non-creative, at least most of the time. We hate it, that's why businesses exist to do the job for lazy but creative people who want to focus on just creative pieces such as page designing.

Let's face it, HTML and CSS is so simple that many people think they are able to use it to the maximum. And the fact? They fail. Most would fail the first try, in the attempt to convert an intermediate complex PSD design into fully functioning XHTML + CSS code. It's a disaster and you would get very angry with your self though with the technologies at first - Microsoft is certainly the first on such a list.

Yet it's so hard to master. To produce real quality code for any anomalous peculiarities you need years of experience.

If you are determined to do a good job in producing the most compatible XHTML / CSS code (cross-browser compatible code consistent in all major modern browsers: IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3, Opera9.5, Safari3), the simplest and most elegant code and the most semantic markup and styling, you've come to the right place. Here we are, going to learn how to convert a PSD perfectly to XHTML + CSS.

And I'm your tutor, the primary coder behind Charm HTML.
