From Photoshop to CSS

Monday, October 5, 2009 by Douglas Karr
Applying themes in blogging platforms like Compendium Blogware and developing custom themes for content management systems like WordPress are becoming quite a specialty of DK New Media.

SabrixSome themes prove more challenging than others and this Sabrix one was a doozy!  There are layers on layers on layers in this layout.  Moving an image from Photoshop to HTML and CSS - as well as being bound by a complex core theme is quite an exercise in patience.

Thankfully, I've got a number of partners here in the region who assist when things get tough!  James Paden of Vibrant Solutions helped with a CSS positioning issue on the sidebar that was driving us nuts.  Mark Ballard, an Indianapolis graphic artist, helped with a Photoshop question.

Surrounding myself with other Indianapolis web design companies, Indianapolis Online Marketing companies and Indianapolis SEO firms is a huge differentiator for me in the marketplace.  I don't simply tack on SEO or Design to my list of services because I'm the expert... I do it because I've found the experts to help make my clients successful.

Honestly, I'm a bit put off by firms that say that they do everything... design, development, SEO, video, hosting, etc.  I think the average Internet Marketing Agency is great at one thing... that thing that they eat, sleep and breath.  I'm a web marketing consultant that is proficient at many things - but leveraging social media is my bread and butter.  I will deliver on this other work with the help of the experts I've surrounded myself!

It seriously drives me nuts when someone says their company is "full-service do anything for anyone". It drives me especially nuts when they're a marketing company. These days it's the specialists that make the big bucks (and the more profitable $). That's where I want to be.
