Cool, customisable busy animations

If you're ever in need of a cool I'm busy doing stuff animation, look no further than ajaxload.info. It does exactly what you need:

• provides a choice of very slick loading animations
• allows you to customise the colour
• generates a free-for-use animated gif for you to add to your web app

Simple.

Here are a few that I prepared earlier ;)

Got a design...need XHTML template?

At my day job we're always in need of someone to turn our web designs into decent, cross-browser compliant (X)HTML. So I was really interested to stumble across psd2html.com. Their claim really caught my eye:

PSD2HTML delivers hand-coded markup to any specification in under 8 hours

Now that's a great promise. And with the prices they quote (around $200 per template) it's gotta be worth a try.

I'll let you know how we get on with them.

Update: We're just about to test these guys out, plus one of their competitors HTMLBlender. I'll post an update when we get some results back.
