    uhm, pixel perfect? what nonsense is this?
    it sounds that pixel perfect means that everything has to be positioned in certain pixelposition no matter what screen resolution, and that is not a good webdesign.
    you should waste time on this ppw if it is what i think it is

    For a definition of a pixel, look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel

    Some designers want their PSDs turned into pixel perfect layouts. What they really mean, is that they want the live site to be identical to the way they designed it. This, in most cases, is wishful thinking. With the combination of browsers, computers (PC or Mac), fonts available to the specific computer, what size the default font size is set at, so on and so forth, it's almost impossible to get a pixel perfect layout for each and every set up.

    The best you can do is make sure your web site is coded in validated XHTML 1.0 Strict, clean semantic layout, and looks the same on a wide variety of browsers. Of course, the ideal goal is to get the site to look identical to the design, but as mentioned, it's wishful thinking in most cases. But you can get pretty darn close if you're skilled enough.
