Seeking God’s Gift to the CSS Community
October 3, 2007
I’m looking for someone to chop PSD files into clean, W3C-compliant CSS layouts. If you have a keen aesthetic sense, replete with Macbook and box frame glasses, great. However, I already know many talented designers who are shit coders. I don’t care if you think black looks good with orange, or if you can’t tell mauve from burgundy. I just need you to know CSS.
I will shower you with riches and glory if you can do it right. However, if I catch you confusing an id with a class, notice repetition in your stylesheets instead of clean cascading (why do you think they’re called ‘cascading’?), or see so much as a single table used for non-data purposes, you are FIRED.
Telecommuting acceptable. Javascript a plus.

If you do find someone, please tell me if he/she has a twin:)

Guess I’m not qualified: I think it’s OK to use tables for layout occasionally, as long as they are used sparsely, not nested ad infinitum with lots of spacer images.
For example, just yesterday I used a table to lay out four textareas (containing copyable video embed code) horizontally, each with a title and descriptive text above it.
So much for being showered with riches and glory. Sigh…

I’ll admit to using tables for layout sometimes. This is why I want to hire someone who doesn’t! And hell no, Erkki… if I find the perfect CSSer, he AND his twin are mine.
