Just Blend that HTML, A Quick Case Study
Need a PSD to HTML Conversion? Just add your design. 8 hour turn around.
Really it was that fast. Last month I was working on a freelance web design project for a company called Huson Physical Therapy. At this point I was looking for a company that could slice my design with great quality, fast and be able to turn my design into a working website. I also needed a form implemented into the site, when I found out they could do that too, I was sold!
I had read some reviews, some good and some bad. There was a few bad reviews but they sounded like a bunch of kids just ragging on the company so I took that with a grain of salt. What I did listen to was the positive reviews. I took the good with the bad and decided to give it a shot. As this point I had not networked with other web developers so I didn’t know who I could trust / ask and get it done so fast.
Enter htmlBlender.

Read a little bit about htmlBlender and then see my process below.

It was a Sunday when I took the Support screenshot, but hey I’ve used it during the week and it’s been very helpful. Crazy concept, their customer service is right on! I would definitely recommend using htmlBlender, and no – I wasn’t paid for this either. I write about designs, services etc…that I would use myself. So yeah, I stand behind it.

Here is a screenshot of my design of the header.
Here is a screenshot of the way I wanted the form to function right on the page.
It was a very succesful project from the sketches of the design, working comp, final approval of layout & to the slicing of the design into Valid XHTML/CSS by htmlBlender. This is one service to check out & if you have questions about my process or even the design, go head and ask me below in the comments! Your good buddy may not be around one day and you have to get that project out the door, try em!
*In time I plan on doing some more of these to weed out the good companies from the bad. In case anyone needs these services. +1 So far!



Good to have this in the knowledge base in case things get to busy.
Thanks for the research. Any plans to try any other similar sites and compare?
Thanks for the comment Bill, I would like to try other services and compare. This may be very helpful to the community!
Cool, never seen an honest review of a psd to html conversion before. Personally, I don’t like anyone touching my code because I am so picky when it comes to doing anything, but I have been considering services like this for some time. Perhaps I will try one in the future and test their skills after reading more of your helpful reviews. Thanks
I agree with Vinh Le, I am very skeptical of what I put my name on. It was nice however to read a review that seemed “real” as opposed to others that seem forced.

Vinh Le, I can see how you wouldn’t want anyone touching your code :) But def. a good option if you can’t find a freelancer for your timeline or are in a crunch! I will make it a point to do some more of these as long as they help!
Matt, thanks for the nice comment, one of my goals here on FYC is to be as real and honest as possible and wouldn’t recommend anything I wouldn’t use myself.
I think that every designer needs to learn how to code simple things too, but as quick way sometimes, this could be great :) Real thanks about this review – interesting to know a litle more.
I’d be really interested to know more about this particularly with anyone’s experience with more complicated designs. I really am skeptical about this knowing how long it takes to create good CSS/ XHTML but am happy to be proven wrong. Also what happens regarding cross browser / platform optimisation?

i like it very much
Man, why are they so expensive? You should check this out to. Its a list of 40 PSD to HTML serveries. The prices are insane.
@Esthetic Core – where is the list of 40 services?
I actually made a list of PSD to HTML vendors. It was made about 2 months ago. I’m hoping to update it soon to add the newer ones and the ones I’ve missed.
Contrary to the post, I’ve read so many bad reviews about htmlblender especially here. (which is also the list of 40 services)
hey ppl even I have found one list of PSD slicers.It has got top ten PSD to HTML conversion, service providers with people voting . Hope you will find it useful PSD Slicers
