If you have a good design, want to transform it to XHTML/CSS or Wordpress Theme, and publish it to internet, I can do you a favor for free!
Why it is free？
1. I love Xhtml/CSS!
2. I am a College student, so I have time to do!
3. The advantage of internet is free and donates (All of Mozilla, Wordpress, Google Web application are free. if I could do something to you, why not?).
4. The design is more important.
Does it work?
Dave (the webmaster of xhtmlized.com) doesn’t believe that I can turn for free. So he sent a very beautiful PSD file (hard to be turned) to me, said it was a tricky one and a test.
The JPG file of original design comes here:

I did my best, and it takes me 10+ hours.
My work comes here: http://www.jorux.com/work/Aqua/
Thank Dave a lot for the beautiful PSD and sending their conversion to me.
Dave’s work comes here: http://www.jorux.com/work/aqua-cult-tours/
The difference comes here (The former is Dave’s)
The width of display:
** Auto adjusted full screen
** 766px
The size of css file:
** 10.6KB
** 6.8KB
The size of image files
** 123KB
** 60KB
The expression of YanusC Font:
** Did the best because he uses images to display words (so not easy to update and bigger size of images);
** Look a little strangely if you don’t have the YanusC Font (but easy to update and smaller size of images)
Browsers displayed correctly:
** IE 5.0/6.0/7.0, FireFox 1.5, Opera 9.0 and Mozilla 1.7 .Safari2.0
** IE 6.0/7.0, FireFox 1.5, Opera 9.0 and Mozilla 1.7 .Safari2.0(I don’t know if it could be displayed correctly at IE 5.0)
The price:
** >149$
** 0$
Which one do you like more, please make some comments for me!
You can download the css here: aqua.css
How many design I could transform in a week for free?
Two designs. (I am still a College student, so something more important need to be solved)
How you send the design to me?
1. Send it to my Email (joe7419@gmail.com);
2. Let me know the URL of your design if you have uploaded it to Flickr or something like that.
What files types are acceptable?
PSD is the best choice! But .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, works too.
What design I would refuse to transform?
1. The design isn’t yours or you don’t have the copyright of the design!
2. The design is too ugly!
How do you know I have accepted request or not?
I will send you an email to you.
How long does the transforming take?
A week!
Do Wordpress Theme could I transform your design to?
Yes. Now I can transform your design to Wordpress Theme and Z-blog Theme (a Chinese CMS).
Have other questions?
Make your noise here or Email me at joe7419@gmail.com！
Dave’s design is much nicer, but both sites fail on flexibility. Just try increasing the text size slightly. I like your approach with opacity though, it’s very nice. It won’t work on IE5, but that browser will soon be dead.
I saw your post on techcrunch and was very surprised that you could do
it for free and the example shown was very good, I honestly prefered
your own to the other one which didnt look good in a small window.
I personally think that he did a great job and the result is amazing. If I ever learn anything about design sometime I will be sure to take Jorux up on his offer.
Well,i like highly your lessons about CSS here because of it let me love CSS! But i only know a little English, so now i don’t how to say or write my ideas for it.
Only found a little wrong about your work in my browser,
this means that if it is in a bigger or higher browser window , the background picture in left bottom are found a little misplay.
But your work are still great !
To xiaojiaoya:
Thank you! I think I will move onto the problem soon!
