As frontend developer I convert received designs to the semantic & well optimized HTML or XHTML code, which is compilant with W3C specifications. Down-to-earth knowledge about cross-browsers CSS differences is a base to make template to appear with no differences in various browsers, till it's not my playground ;)

I prefer HTML, I don't support IE6 in my default quotation, and I don't manipulate form controls more than it's allowed by CSS.
