  Old  XHTML This - We even make ordering fun

Since the start, XHTML This seemed to do things right and do them well. With that being said, I sold the design to a member on these forums hoping to get a Macbook, which I got. I had my break, now I am back for more.

With this redesign I felt that pages just wasn't part of what I was looking for, so now it's just one page with links to any other page needed to get my point across. Over the course of the 6 months, with my already pre-existant skills, I am now including them for sale.

In 1 weekend, I found a way to make a nice homepage, awesome order system WildHoney did the Backend, and include something i've always wanted...a blog.

I would really appriciate it if you guys looked over the whole site a bit, gave your comments. Maybe test out the order system (Please be nice, not too many now, maybe even hire me.) Plus check out the blog.

I feel I created myself my own home, and I hope maybe you can find it pleasing enough to visit a few times to help me achieve my goal.

Thank you for reading,
Garrett (XHTMLThis.com)

Sorry but I don't like the way you are using different design for order page and blog. It looks out of order.

Hi Garrett,

I really like the new design..or designs. Each page looks different. Top quality coding as well. But the message you're trying to present the whole 'fun, fantastic' thing isn't really what coding is about.


For the less jumbo, easier to understand code that everyone loves.
Everyone loves?

The 3 F's
* fast
* fun
* fantastic
While the order page is cool and all.. I think you went a little overboard. Otherwise, good luck

I don't understand: I click on "Basic Package", 1page, and at the bottom you would charge me $175, but in the basic page section it says: $50

His service costs $125 just to hire him, 1 page costs $50, therefor being $175. Correct? Garrett you may want to clarify this on your site and also link to your terms of service

If he's doing what i said then i think it's a good method rsek, theres too many kids under cutting the market of design and coding these days just to make some pocket money when really the guys who make a living or want to degree in their field are losing out, a lot.

Keep up the hard work Garrett

then he should mention it somewhere, or just raise his prices in on the page itself..

you don't go to a plumber and give him 50€ for doing nothing.. if you know i mean..

Actually, you need to pay for the plumber's time even if he does a bad job.
