[For Hire] Taking on a select few Design to XHTML projects

NOTE: I'll be out of town July 17th - July 23rd

I'm looking to work on a few interesting or challenging design to XHTML/CSS projects. If you have something to be coded, just let me know.

What you get:
- Valid & Semantic XHTML/CSS (Strict Doctype)
- Search Engine Optimized
- Optimized Images (Best compression and use of sprites)
- Cross-browser compatibility

Prices start at $100 and vary depending upon the design and its complexity.

Example 1
Example 2

Hello,

I have just previewed Your examples, both looks nice and are relatively clean but You should avoid creating such weird constructions like below:

Code:

<div id="contentBg">
	<div id="contentTop">
		<div id="contentBot">
			<div id="sideBar">
				<div class="sideBoxBg">
					<div class="sideBoxTop">
						<div class="sideBoxBot">

If You have an online portfolio available, with more detailed info about You, Your work and rates, You might consider adding it to http://xhtmlrank.com

Thanks,
Paul Wisniowski

Paul, thanks for the critique. However, it was done that way for a reason. The content boxes required the ability to expand vertically while displaying the rounded corners. Additionally, the client stated that compatibility was more important than optimizing the code with the help of CSS3. Lastly, the site was afterwards implemented into a CMS and JavaScript functions were added which means the XHTML had to be flexible.

Also, take note that both of those projects were done in 2009. CSS3 wasn't nearly as common back then.

At this point in time, I don't have an online portfolio.
