XHTML/CSS on Graphic River
5.23.2009 | Blog, Graphic River
Recently, people have been uploading graphics for the web with ”examples” or ”bonuses” consisting of XHTML/CSS files. For example, someone uploaded a tabbed menu for the web with the XHTML/CSS along with it.
Some members of Graphic River objected to this, arguing that it will become a trend or standard and the people not being able to create the code with the graphics won’t be able to sell as much as the one with the code.
You can read it here.
The author DreamWarrior makes a good point here. Nevertheless, I still believe that a marketplace should be competetive and evolve as the users help the site grow. Users who create their web items with XHTML/CSS should be able to upload it. Although they shouldn’t be ”awarded” something for it, the price should still be the same as the regular graphics without the code. Fortunately, they are…
It was decided by the directors that Graphic River would allow files with bonus XHTML /CSS files only if it wouldn’t fit in on Theme Forest. Theme Forest doesn’t deal in the small snippets and demo-sized XHTML /CSS that some files in the Graphic River library offers.
Because Graphic River’s scope is focused on graphics, XHTML / CSS files are considered bonuses or extra files that are not considered during the review and pricing process. Which basically means that XHTML/CSS is not judged when the file is reviewed.
So if you have the time, go ahead and code the XHTML for your web graphics. You might sell more, or you might get rejected. I tried to upload an XHTML/CSS item but I was rejected because the graphics were to simple. So I’ll try to make the graphics more complex and of ”higher standard” before I upload it again…
