I'm looking for some amazing designers to work on a site for me.

I need from interested designers portfolios and their quotes for how much they could do the design for. I don't want a template, but a complete coded site.

Please email your offers or post below

NO PM's please

My budget is $1000-5000

http://www.evaluedesigns.com/work/
http://www.webhostdeals.com

That is my portfolio etc

My prices for fully coded sites are $400 - $1500 depending on quantity of work and complexity.

Anthony,

Your work is good but not of the quality I need. I'm sure you'll develop into a great designer, but I need to work with a designer with stronger attributes in the present. Thanks for your interest in the job.

no prob

good luck in your search

Regards
Anthony

I expressed my wish at not receiving any PM's whatsoever, however to one member deliberately decided to ignore me. Just as warning to anyone else who will be doing the same - I will name and shame you if you PM me.

The member in question was:

Axi

Who sent this post to me:

I can do design and PHP coding if you want. What is your site's content about? And how many pages will there be?

If you can't follow simply requests, I don't want to deal with you - simple as that.

We have completed work on our portfolio and are about to launch our design firm. I believe that we possess the skills you are looking for. We can definately provide you with a stunning site. Please feel free to contact me via any method listed in my profile.

I can do a complete site for you including an amazing flash intro within your budget.

Please contact me at pixelaxis@aol.com if you are interested.

Snappaman24,
I do PHP coding myself. I have a couple of designers I work with on a regular basis. I could team up with them in order to provide you with the best website possible. Is this okay? if so, I will et a few links of some of the sites that they have designed and I will get back to you.

Hello,

I represent a designing firm mainly specializing in creating simple, professional corporate websites and corporate identities.

You can surf our portfolio entries here:

http://www.logogeek.com/portfolio/

Also, we recently completed the design of http://www.zarca.com

I look forward to working with you. I am reluctant to give a premature quote; rather it would be better if you can review the portfolio and feel that we can work together the provide us with some more details about what exactly you require done. We will then submit a formal quote.

Thanks.

Regards,

Zaid

Schwartz - I'm sorry, but I'd rather have one team with one vision/process working on the site than a bunch of guys. I want a professional job where I'm not pulling my hair out at odd intervals, normally my experience with designers and their partnered coders isn't good.

LiNuX - Again you're in the same boat as MooBrack, also looking at the one of your previous threads you seem to be Larron, one half of the infamous Larron and Brandon scamming teen duo. You might have changed, but I'm not willing to take the risk.

Ram Raja - I'm afraid I don't like the fact a majority of your sites share the same design elements. Is it perhaps your client owns all the sites you've shown me in the portfolio and wants to extend his branding over all the sites?? I want something unique, not something a 100 different companies have plastered on their site.

Zaid - your site designs are very clean, but unfortunately not what I'm looking for

Yet another idiot:

Hi there,

Thank you for your quick response.

Can you give us any clue about the sort of thing you are looking for? We have designed many many sites but use only a few for portfolio. If you can tell us something more specific, we can try and search through our clientele and let you know if we have something for you to see which you have not yet seen.

Thanks.

--Zaid

I would reccomend using member "Fazel3" and RTStudios, his company. They have a great team of designers, and I can't say enough to say how satisfied I am with the work they did on my site, www.netluxe.net . People found it good enough to message several times in the "best webhosting design" thread, in the general forum about a week ago.

They can do great work for your requested price range, and I'm positive that you will be satisfied.

Husain (Fazel's) e-mail is fazel@pixelsync.co.uk.

just to follow up on Mike's recommendation, unfortunately we're not taking any further clients. Thanks for the recommendation anyway :)

It is quite alright you are entitiled to your own opinions. I am not Larron or Brandon - My name is Steven Clarke (NetStartz Owner.) Larron is one of the designers on the Tierpix team and is a highly skilled designer. As you don't seem to like his work or the work of R.K. Raja I suggest you go to ceonex or a competitor.

"You might have changed..." - I might have changed from what? I don't see what one of the designers', on the tierpix team, personal history with a hosting company has to do with making a site.

I'm not sure if referring to people that could of simplely missed your request for no PMs as idiots is the professional thing to do.

I wish you luck in finding someone that meets your needs.

-Steven

I will post my portfolio later, but sadly, I must goto work now

snappaman24 sounds like a total bastar*d to me, look dude, just because you have a few 1000s of dollars to spend on a site, doesnt mean you can go around insulting everyone offering you their service.

Is this some kind of a joke to you? knowing that many members on this board earn about $100+ for a site, so you go and throw $1000-$5000 budget to get people's offers then insult them just because its not the style you are looking for? Really, I dont give a sh*t if you got $100000 to spend on a site,having a client like you would wind up been more trouble then its worth.

If you have so much cash to spend on a site, why dont you just go to a professional design firm and get the job done, rather than requesting on a public forum like this?

Money doesnt mean everything, these guys just wanted to offer you a service that you requested, give at least a little of respect. Maybe theres something up your ass that put you in this mood? I'ld take it out before reply to other requests if I were you.

Thank you.

VickLai,

I have been polite in my dealings. I'm looking for a specific designer and rather than scour through hundreds of design firms, I'm asked designers to post here. Those that PM me when I specifically ask not to be PM'ed deserve to be named and shame. As for the rest, I think they deserve to know whether or not I'm interested in their offer. When a company is involved with fraudulent designers, I'm not interested in their service. I want a professional job done at the end of the day.

I believe in the saying: "once a scammer, always a scammer".

I want to deal with a firm that can do the job i want them to do, can follow basic instructions and when the dust has settled, I don't want to be complaining here about xyz design company running of with my money etc.

Is that being a b******? I think not...

Thats true, hiring a personal designer is much better than going to a design firm, as you can tell them what you WANT doing, what you think needs doing - and they can work around your needs and wants, Places like ceonex and 2Advanced work to what they think is best based on their research....

Volize, both your site and portfolio look nice. I have added you to my shortlist. Thank You.

snappaman24:

You seem to shoot straight from the hip and do not hold any punches. Some may misconstrue this as rude. Personally, I don't mind it as long as it stays civil...

While I appreciate your concern about dealing with "scammers", all I can do is share my experience with you. I paid LiNuX and Larron to redesign my site (in my sig). I found them to provide great design skills and exceptional value for the money, and I am very happy with the results. I have also sent them many referals as a result. And in fact, just today I am again in contact with Larron to produce another design for me for another site.

Nobody likes to deal with scammers. And I share your feelings. All I can say is that as a no-nonsense businessman, if I was not happy with their performance, I would not be returning for more work (or posting about them here, for that matter).

Then again, everyone has his own comfort level. You need to decide where yours is. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Vito

snappaman24, please introduce yourself a little better. Such as, current website, industry of interest, volume of current project redesign.

Thanks.

Vito,

Thanks for your comments. I've had to deal with so many low life shoddy business men that I have enough to last me a life time. What I want is a designer who has done the sort of work I need in the past. That's the only way I can be certain they'll be the right person for the job. This is the reason why I'm ready to pay a moderate amount of money for the job. I've given polite replies to those that have responded, to those who I feel have a dodgy reputation/business practise, I haven't failed to tell them that a spade is a spade. I don't want to go down to the usual WHT bickering standards. I just want a professional job done. Make no mistake I'll be doing double, triple and quadruple checks on the companies I decide to go with.

I've just come off an extremely bad spell with McHost, I realize you get what you pay for and that's why I'm going for the best. If people consider demanding high quality from others in exchange for a fair amount of money rude, then personally I don't care. At the end of the day, I'm the one forking out the money, I'm the one who'll be getting the goods. I deserve at least the ability to choose without being told I'm insulting designers, personally people should have a thick enough skin to deal with insults, I know i've had to have one to endure the weeks of hell recently with McHost.

TimeChange, I'm looking for average quotes from designers and a look at their portfolios. I am a local businessman, using an McHost reseller account to host local businesses. Most of the businesses I host work with automating production lines in the food industry. I haven't had to deal with a site until now, I want to broaden my target to other companies in the industry. I normally use word of mouth to generate sales.

What I'd like is a website that sells my service as a whole but at the same time acts as a marketing platform. I want to record activity on my site, I have several whitepapers, comparison tables and other such information. I want to position them on a site and see the frequency at which they're used and whether they help make a sale. Basically I want a module based site like those phpnuke powered websites you see, where I can see what's working and what's not and rearrange the site as I go.

I'm relying basically on the quality of the design the companies offering are producing and the their sales literature.

Is that helpful in any way?

Sorry to interrupt, but "Snappaman" actually strikes me as much more professional than many potential clients who post on WHT, describing exactly what he is looking for and being straight-foward with the quality he expects. He has every right to dismiss individuals/companies he feels to be untrustworthy because a business relationship should be founded on integrity and honesty, regardless of whether rumors are true or not.

Good luck with your search for a suitable designer. My apologies for posting if you feel this is uncalled for.

I can certainly help you with the design you're looking for. If you're interested please get back to me at the addresses listed on the page.
Thank you for your time,

Although his straight-forward approach may be interpreted as abraisive, I do prefer it over the ones that ask for a $5000 design job for $80 plus a year of free hosting...

Vito

Portfolio: http://www.subtilize.com

Example of most recent hosting project:

http://www.aletia.com

Entire web presences start at $2000. For a more specific quote we will need to discuss project details, goals, and requirements.

Good luck with your search.

LOL good one :D

However, I am put off by arrogance of the type "prove to me you're worth my money and that you're not a scammer" along with the usual "incognito shooting star" appearance that has led several designers to the same situation that snappaman24 is trying to avoid: being scammed.

no offense snappaman,

but as an owner of my own web design company for 7 years, you are what is called the "client nobody wants"

Speak for yourself. I for one, appreciate a professional who is up front about what he/she wants and isn't afraid to tell people that their work isn't up to par. As a matter of fact, I find it to be a very welcome deviation from the standard "I WILL BUY ANYTHING AS LONG AS ITS CHEAP" mentality I see here on these forums.

The only reason I still stick around here is because every once in a while a professional will come along who is prepared both monetarily and mentally to conduct business with higher end designers.

BS.

Practices of the type "oh so you dared to PM me, ok, I will now post the PM in the forum" show nothing more than pompous mentality and desrespect towards the designer as a professional.

Brown-nosing won't get you more customers, BTW.

First of all, I'm stating my opinion, not brown-nosing. Unlike many here, I have no need to brown-nose for clients and judging from your own website you are in no position to tell me how to conduct myself. Thank you.

As for the PM posting, I believe he is simply making the point that, of all people, those who are making him offers, should actually READ WHAT HE WRITES.

Brown-nosing won't get you more customers, BTW

now that's funny

show nothing more than pompous mentality and desrespect towards the designer as a professional.

that's absolutley right. Wouldn't take the job from him for $10,000. he would be a $20,000 headache.


mic

Hey snappa, How are you?...

I would love to work on this project with you... Before i could finalize any price i would need to know more about the type of website you would like created etc. I assure you i will create a professional website to your specifications within a timely manner.

A sample design im currently working on, which is far from finished, can be view at http://www.nerdnetwork.com/sample2.jpg

If you would like to talk more designing and your website feel free to leave me a PM or respond to the thread.

Thanks for your time,
Express

I might be interested, please send me additional details if you like what you see...

While this is going in the way of "being honest" -- I don't find it very professional to call anyone an idiot! Regardless of what your willing to spend, what host just screwed you over, who shot joe, or who blew jane... There is no need to break the rules of the forum, just because a couple of interested designers decided to not follow your rules.

I do commend you for knowing what you want and expect out of your designer, though. Unfortunately, you've probably shot your wad with the best designers on this forum, by acting so childlike.

There are a few good designers that float around here at WHT, but you will not see the better ones trying to win jobs through this forum. Theo (timechange) is one of those that could/should be on a lot of peoples short list, that need a quality website. I've only seen a few of his commercial websites, but they were quite well done. The type that business' are willing to pay several thousand dollars for, without hesistation.

I don't think one designer attacking another designers website, out of spite -- because they were busted, shows much professionalism either.

I think snappaman24 has his reason. He explicitly said to post the offer on the thread not by pm. If a designer can not even follow a simple instruction such as that, would he be able to follow the instruction or ideas given when designing the site? :rolleyes:

I have been in a situation where the designer kicked you in the face after you send in the upfront payment. He has every right to be careful with all these scammers roaming around this board.

If you dont like his attitude as a paying customer looking for design firm in his own thread, by all means dont read it. Simply press the X button on your right top corner.

Hi,

I respect your opinion. They are in fact not owned by the same client. The reason they look the same as all of my clients wanted design elements from previous designs I had made. I have not had many clients that request something unique.

If you want something unique, I can indeed make you something unique.

Thanks, hope you find a good designer :)

Ram, thanks for clarifying, I admire your honesty - you've been added to my shortlist.

I mentioned quite clearly enough that I didn't want any private messages. I had a reason for doing this. Not that I need to disclose my reasons. I'm the buyer here, the one spending the dosh and as such I have to make the best choice for my business. Primarily I wanted to give people the chance to send me an email, at least then I can track their messages if they want to conduct business in private. It shows at least a bit of effort on their part that they bothered to compose a letter to me by opening up their mail program and sending an email over. A PM is a lazy designers way out. If they want to do things privately, for example show me designs they aren't allowed to show in their public portfolio then they can do it by the normal method of communication - email. A PM is for those that can't be bothered, and those that have something to hide.

I posted the first designers name and message here to illustrate my point, I did so with the second one and suddenly everyone pays attention. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson from this and behave more appropiately with other prospective clients.

I'm not rude, but I have no time for unprofessional people. This attitude has come about from being burned time and time again.

As far as Theo's designs, I'd have appreciated a quote from him, in fact his reputation would have increased my budget should he have made a reasonable quote. However if he doesn't want to throw his hat in the ring, then I'm sure I'll find someone else.

No offense snappaman24 but I think I explained why I am reserved by the way this request was handled in the first place. Best of luck in your quest though.

snappaman24,

I understand being aprehensive, trust me. It's a given (or should be) for internet trading of any sort.

I do hope you find what your after and have no doubt you won't settle for less that what you deserve... nobody should
