I'm looking for an experienced designer for a complete site design for my hosting site.

In return i can offer the following:

$100, plus:

1 year's free hosting
domain name registration
server space at dv2.net or Telehouse, UK (your choice)
150Mb space
1.2gb data transfer/month
cpanel 4 (dv2.net)
15 pop3 emails
5 email lists
autoresponders
email forwarders
webmail
spam filters
full stats
php supported
wap supported
e-commerce engine
10 mysql databases
cgi-bin etc etc

Any takers? Would need the job completing within 2 weeks max

PM me with site urls and experience

No flamers please - we are a new company and have a very tight budget (sorry).... if you're not interested fair enough :)

sco44,

I don't want to 'attack' you or something, but I think you're offering way too little for a complete site design.
A full site design takes hours and hours of work and I don't think anyone would offer that in return for a 'simple' hosting account.

Hey, with the 300 GB traffic on your DV2 server you could miss some more than 1.2GB , right ? :)

Thank you for your offer, but as a designer I'd like to inject my opinion into this thread. I think that what you're offering as compensation may not be sufficiently valuable to entice too many responses. I'm currently buying 100MB of Web space and 1GB of transfer for $1.00 per month, same features.

Based on that, your one year of free hosting offer (at least to me) would be worth roughly $18.00 -- which just isn't enough for a full site redesign.

You may well find someone who is attracted to your offer, but I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts.

What if the person does not want any of the hosting? ;) Are you willing to pay more money?...just wondering.. How many emails (offers) have you received for this?...just wondering again. Thanks..

if the individual does not require hosting, he/she can still quote me - i'm just trying to save money as I am a new business

i'm not trying to screw anyone - I just know what i can afford...if people arent interested then fair enough :)

Sorry about a second post right away.

sco44,

How about specs for the web site??? Also, would you be willing to give the person a free domain name for a year (TLD)?

Hey MattS! That intro looks exactly like THIS intro (created using the Swish RAD tool) that was posted at FlashKit.com:

How Similar? (http://www.flashkit.com/movies/launcher.php?url=http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Third_Party/Swish/_Remi-Azamelay-6164/_Remi-Azamelay-6164.swf&width=735&height=426&bg=AAAAAA)

Text and music changed, but that's it. I posted that same into in another thread in these forums within the past couple of weeks.

Hi,

err, you are right...It looks like I'm having a talk with the designer that "made" it.. Thank you for pointing that out.
