P2H’s PSD to HTML Service Reviewed
Disclosure: This is my second review of this service, and once again I was given a free “sample” job for review purposes. This is a completely objective review of the service I received.
In the past year or so, there has been a marked increase in the number of “design to code conversion” services available. The promise of valid CSS and HTML code from your layered PSD files quickly and cleanly certainly sounds like a godsend for any busy designer- but how well do they really work?
P2H, formerly known as PSD2HTML, was one of the first services of this kind. They offer a 100% guarantee and a standard turnaround time of only 8 hours per page- which, believe me, when you’re chasing a deadline, sounds pretty sweet.
For this, my second order with P2H, I wanted to send them something I could actually use right away. And since I’ve been putting off the redesign of my personal website, that’s what I chose to use:
The P2H Order Page is impressive for being both easy to use and very comprehensive. You can specify everything from whether you want your layout fixed or flexible, with a sticky footer… even which javascript framework you prefer (e.g. jQuery, MooTools, Prototype). For an additional $19, you can request that the markup is completely accessible to users with disabilities (WAI 2.0 / Section 508). Worth every penny, IMHO.
If you aren’t able to specify something on the order page- or you forget to- don’t fret: P2H will give you several chances to confirm and tweak your order. You do this in the Client Area, which is where they’ll send you a confirmation listing the specs of your order, and let you know whether what you’ve asked for is doable or not:
Indeed, one of the best things about P2H must be their customer service- they replied almost instantly to all my emails, offer consultation with your own Project Manager, and are also available for live online chat.
Finally, here’s a screenshot showing my original PSD and the completed markup they sent me:
Now, as someone who’s been making websites for a very long time, I care very deeply about markup- especially if I’m putting it to real-world use on my own website. That said, the markup I received from P2H was fine. I didn’t request commented code, but it was valid and clean and, as you can see from the comparison above, it looked almost exactly like the PSD I sent them. I would have liked tidier CSS and a more semantic approach in element naming, sure, but all in all I was very pleased with the results I got.

Appreciate the work that PSD2HTML did for you and the options available on their site, especially since you are satisfied with them. For many sites however, a reliable turnaround at half their price would make designers go for the new provider. We do offer PSD to HTML services at half the price of PSD2HTML and I would say have satisfied clients.
The turnaround time is 3 calendar days, which is to ensure that we deliver the code to the client’s satisfaction. Do consider reviewing our service someday.

Hey,
It’s great that you were able to get a free review from P2H.
We also could probably offer a similar service for a review, however its important to note that all of the PSD to HTML companies should offer identical deliverable. What should really be reviewed and what helps separate the companies is their attention to customer service.
We pride ourselves on being the best customer service oriented company in the pack….its important to have a direct line of communication with our clients to make them feel safe giving their beautiful designs to us. That is why we have some of the highest retention rates, because our clients trust us.
Looking forward to more great posts!

my experience with p2H was a pure terror. i find myself repeating same comment over and over and they used a solution which didn’t work for the movie player (it skips the beginning and stuck in the middle) and this is their answer:
1:37 pm by support-21: We used the free video available, our code is fine so it works this way because it is free version. You should bye another version that will suit to your requirements. With the paid version we, unfortunately, cannot assist you.
