Hi,

I am looking for a service, trustworthy & professional like p2h.com that offers implementation of design to EE, does that exist?

Kind Regards

Hi, most people here could do that for you. It’s broadly called Front End Development. Feel free to get in touch with me if you’d like an estimate for the work.

😉

Thx, Sent you a PM Matt.

Is there no psd2html similar service out there?

Thanks Markus

I don’t know of any PSD-HTML-EE services… If anyone else does, please let us know.

I think because of EE’s flexibility, it’s virtually impossible to know how to set up an EE template without having access to the EE installation on the server. Testing without access would take enormous amounts of time in email (mis)communication. (not that email should be considered a form of communication, but that’s for another day 😉

Any EE developer would need to know the names of Channels, Custom Fields, plugins (and their syntax) and how any relationships were being handled by that particular installation of Expression Engine… etc (global variables, snippets…)

What Matt said.

Unless you were to build a simple site that just managed pages in a single channel, with a couple fields—maybe using Structure. Then the conversion would be fairly straightforward.

In my mind there is no “easy” programmatic way to get HTML markup magically converted into EE templates, and I would be highly suspect of anyone offering such a service. And Matt:P is right, it’s pretty much impossible to do this effectively without access to the destination EE control panel and visibility to its Channels (if they even exist at that point).

The beauty of this CMS is it’s completely flexible templating system, so that developers can slice up HTML documents and assets and integrate them into EE template groups as needed.

Of course there are some best practices for this which most EE developers adhere to, and EllisLab provides some great tutorials explaining these conventions, but most EE pro’s will structure each site’s template groups and templates according to the specific requirements of each project.

Chances are that you (or whomever you hire to do your EE development) will end up scratching whatever “templates” are handed over after such an endeavor.
