Which is not the case sometimes, as already pointed out.

yes, it's exciting and it does make people think; regardless, if you agree or not

my point in posting is to alert people to the coding style of some of these "designers" (not implying that anyone listed here is bad) ... but, some so-called "designers" are in it just for the money ... these are the people that you have to avoid

buying from the right people will save you money in the long haul -- people have asked me many times how they can tell the "good" from the "bad" ... well, using the W3C validation tool is a good start

using the W3C validation tool is the quickest way to check the "validity" of a designer - it's easy; it's fast; and, it's free

Yes I agree with the validation and it is very important to check it. However, this will not apply if you are only buying the design alone and coding it either yourself or having someone else do it for you. But if the designer is doing both coding and designing, it is important to check the validation cause it could tell how experienced or inexperienced the designer is or how he/she cares about the coding or not.

Well, ok, tell that to vb... because theres an element within the default vB css that isn't XHTML1.0 compliant (or is that css2) ... i.e using 'hand' for a menu drop downs! - i dunno... it shows that designer has taken time out to make his/her style pan-browser-dynamic

btw, "coz" isn't a word...it's spelled "cause". Do try and use proper spelling if you want people to take you seriously.

still get alot of clients without any problems not everyone thinks validating is the holy grail.

sorry about the spelling, am scottish so my slang normaly takes over if ranting on. you will get used to it in time :P

and princeton if

"but, some so-called "designers" are in it just for the money ... these are the people that you have to avoid"

was aimed at me then u know so little... i sell my stuff alot cheaper than most ppl and have been known just to give stuff away coz i didnt want any cash for it.

also been known todo ALOT of free jobs just cause i was bored.

so the money aspect of it is just a bonus

Since I design pretty much full-time, I guess I'm in it for the money. Don't want to be living on the streets, ya'know.

But the work is fun, too. It's definitively a job that I like, which just happens to pay.

kolby is a thief he did the same thing to me. but it was "the power has been out all over arlington for about a week now" and "my cousin died" "dude, i have been trying to reach you via e-mail" i am taking him to small claims court. normally wouldn't go this far, but this kid has really pissed me off. here is his information if anyone else wants to file a claim

* Edited: Personal info edited out as it is not proper to list it without the person's consent.

And I have seen a piece of my design, he keeps coming up with "I am having surgery" or whatever excuse he has for that week. So I will have to put back the design work a few weeks.

So my warning to everyone is stay away from vbcore because you will get screwed in the end.

What does this mean my friend, are you suggesting Kolby will not perform?
Please tell me your feelings.

And who might you be?

Edit: This member contacted me in PM. He made it clear to me that he is just someone who also has done business with said designer and also had some troubles.
