BAY AREA VISUAL DESIGNERS SAVE TIME, MONEY, AND CREATIVE RESOURCES
BY OUTSOURCING THEIR TECHNICAL WEB DEVELOPMENT
San Francisco, CA, May 22, 2008 —Hard-working Visual Designers from San Francisco Bay
Area marketing and advertising teams discover relief from technical Web development, with help from
Design2Web. In today’s volatile economy, marketing and advertising managers are pressured to produce
content rapidly, and deploy fresh, online campaigns with rigorous deadlines. Managers need this Web
content designed fast, and then coded into various technical Web formats that look great in all Web
browsers.
Design2Web alleviates the time-consuming technical tasks that Visual Designers undertake, so
they can focus attention on other creative projects instead. Existing in-house Web developers aren’t
distracted from higher technical priorities as well. Instead of worrying about the technical Web
production requirements, Visual Designers, and clients of Design2Web interviewed say their time and
creative energy is conserved to focus on what they’re best at.
“My team of Visual Designers was spending dozens of extra hours trying to code our Photoshop
designs into tables-based HTML. What they coded was still full of errors and usability problems,” says
Michael Carboni, Creative Manager for Revcube Marketing. “We tried outsourcing Web development
with Design2Web, and were amazed to see coded landing pages and Websites returned in a fraction of the
time it took us. You can’t even tell the difference between our original Photoshop designs and what’s in
the Web browser. The code is completely without Web browser irregularities and bugs.”

Devin McCollam, Owner and Manager of Design2Web, said clients usually have questions about
the purpose of standards-based coding, and why it’s better than table-based HTML. “The difference is
absolute flexibility. Instead of having to re-code an entire Website when a simple design change is
requested, the code can remain the same. Presentation is separate from the code, in standards-based,
W3C-compliant XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets),”
he says. Basically, standards-based XHTML and CSS don’t lock Websites into specific designs that can’t
be changed easily.
