Sorry but you may have paid $20 for that xhtml / css coding there, but its like this, the more you pay the better quality it will be. For example, you pay $150 for a pushbike, then you see one for $1500, you dont know the difference until you investigate further. The parts of the bike are better quality, and at higher standard. So basically, its a "you get what you pay for scheme". And i'm not putting the coder of whoever it was who coded that for you, but its the not the best, anyone here can tell you that.
Programmers / Scripters, set their own rate, per project or per hour. Someone who has had 30 years of coding experience and charges $150 an hour, compared to someone who has 4 years experience and charges $50 an hour, who are you going to go with? Obviously the cheapest as the majority of idiotic people do, but his or her standards/skills/assets/timeframe etc may be no where near as good quality compared to what the higher pricing programmer will be.
In most cases, the more you pay the better standard and outcome of the product you will get.

Im seeing xhtml / css coding for 100 and 30 for any other pages... simply pathetic. everybody needs to stop sugar coating there work.

Dont want to sound harsh but who are you to say that? You are the one that needs to realise or actually do this...
- Goto a local web design / development company/agency, and ask them for a quote to code in valid xhtml/css and show them a stupidly simple design. Without a doubt, they will charge you a minimum of double of what us freelancers charge.
- Don't just look for the cheapest person to do the job for you, once again without a doubt they are inexperienced, uneducated or just simply will do anything for a buck.
- Freelancers / Companies / Agencies etc, set there own charge. If you actually do your chuffing research, you will see that a not very respected/popular company may charge more than what a highly respected/popular company does. Same as for freelancers!
- I may not be getting the exact point across to your skull, but it is you not us who need to the realising. We set our price, not you! It is up to you who you choose, and your fault if anything goes wrong or unexpected things happen to your cheap product.
- You also need to realise that a number of people and respected people on this forum will guarantee good quality products from other people. If you read on the first page, WildHoney recommended VillageIdiot. Wildhoney himself is a great and very well educated programmer, and getting that sort of recommendation is rare. But to say what you said above, just shows the stupidity that humanity really has.
