Default wanted: designer for hire?

I am desperately wanting to build the site of my dreams (isn't everyone?). I have just about every detail mapped out in my head (even sites to compare..non-bead related). I took a stab at learning HTML from scratch....but it was taking away from my bead time. I contacted some commercial designers and the average estimate was $2200. I can't see how I can sell emough beads to justify that (I do have a full time job, very little precious torch time). I would like to share my ideas with some savy designer, I can even send over all the text and images, to have it constructed. Then I would need a bit of training on how to edit the store (did I mention I wanted a cart?) and make my way around a few other places. I'm currently using FirstPage, Firezilla, and Mal's Cart (all free) but would not be opposed to buying any necessary software. Designing fee is negotiable.

Wondering if this is the place for this vs. the garage sale.

Please PM or e-mail me if you have suggestions or think you can help.

THANKS!

Hi Kim,

My husband is a designer...
a good one,
but I am biased...
his site is www.AGDink.com

He has done work for Flame Tree Glass, Ray and Beth Olson, Tammy O, Amaya,....
un Lisa from LHCollection....

you can email him...
he will give you a free quote..
sounds like an easy job, since you know what you want!

His website is not really up to date,
he is working on my site...
but it only has a gallery right now!

Good luck!
Teresa

Jocelyn,

On the $49.95 websites, are we able to use our own hosting or do we have to use y'alls? I can't afford to do the custom design right now and have a pretty good working knowledge of Frontpage, would I be able to customize the $49.95 website on my own?

I have two OScommerce sites already and am not really able to get into the template and change it myself.. I would really prefer something that I can change on my own, like backgrounds and such..

Megan

Megan,

my Oscommerse comes with Free 1 year hosting, plus, they throw in a free design for the pages! Check out the list I listed above, its Just 2 Girls.

Hope this helps.
