Do you use design slicing service? You know, they make xhtml & css code from your design layout.
If yes:
- which one?
- how many times?
- what's your opinion?
- will you use it next time?
- your thoughts.
If no:
- why not?
- do you plan to use?
- anything else.

I tried more slicers nowadays. Some of them do their task pretty well. For a low price I can get standard compliant and cross browser code. I have more time for my other development tasks.
One of my favorites: frontenders.com They are professionals no doubt: very good code, short deadline and an acceptable price. I like the services of Choppr and Slice 'r' us, too. But in the future, I will definitely use frontenders.
What's your experience?

I would never use one of those services - I'm way too much of a control freak to let someone else handle the XHTML and CSS for one of my sites, and besides, it's one of the aspects of web design that I actually enjoy the most.

hiya,
I work for one of these services (which i am not going to plug here). I wanted to mention that you do have to be very careful, there are alot of services which produce valid, but otherwise crap non semantic code.
I suppose the old addim, "You get what you pay for" is still true to an extent.
I very much enjoy crafting beautiful markup and i know many who dont, or cannot, so i like the fact that i can help them out.
