Zero One Connect
March 6th, 2008
I was recently asked by a friend to take a look at their website contact form. Viewing the source of the HTML that Quark Xpress had generated, my eyes started to bleed. So as an act of mercy, I put the old html out of it’s misery and re-created the whole thing from scratch.
It still astounds me how a program as big as Quark can produce such poor html. Surly a LOT of designers now wish to publish stuff to web, and while perhaps Quark wouldn’t be the tool of choice for most dedicated web developers, it’s still the no.1 layout tool for print.
Ok, so the html it outputs may not be as accessible and compact as any a human could do, but they certainly could be a lot lot better.
I always find it useful to spend the odd bit of time working on other things than Glubble, as it gives me a chance to learn new tricks and experiment with things I wouldn’t usually.
Be sure to checkout Zero One - They do some quality print stuff.
