Suffice to say that I'm confident any professional web designer would laugh in your face if you offered them "maybe three digits if it's really good!" for the design AND coding of a website.


He has a point there.

And it's not like it's any small amount of time investment either involved.

This is no small thing, Vyper

So come up with something, show me, and we'll go from there

Heh, I'm just honest--I won't honestly claim to do the 'near impossible', I.E. a site which has all those pictures AND what I would call a good setup. Plus I don't really do super-picture websites.

Also, I have a job, so that sort of makes me less desperate. However, for money or not, I'm willing to help you... the only catch is that I can only deal with the layout and the text; I can't draw for #*$&.

Hey, I not only want money, I desperately need it.

But I'm excluded as an Australian.
If you can cash money orders from the US, I'd be happy to help

Well, setz, I'm not in a hurry, really. If it takes a while to make it, it takes a while to make it. I just want to get the whole process set up so I know it's going to happen. If say, you could make something that would attract visitors of all connection speeds, I'd pay you for it

I've noticed actually you wanting "good design" and your ideals clash with the ideals here (which seem to be "quick" "efficient" compared to your "bloated" "wasteful")

also your "begging for hits" should be begging for hits from all users; not just users with 3290423mbpssdf connections, or else you are limiting your audience

Peh, CSS is easy to learn. I don't see what's stopping you, unless you really don't have any free time whatsoever. I mean, think about it, I know CSS. That says a lot about how easy it is to learn, really I'm not saying you have to use it, but it's a pretty nice option that's easily available.

Of course, I don't think asking an internet message board is the best place to find someone to hire you. I'm not saying that the people of this board are incapable of designing webpages, hardly, but I'm not sure if you'll find anyone willing to work with you, even if you have money

Then again, I bet, knowing my ability to get into ironic situations without realizing it, I bet someone will take you up on your offer right after I post this. On second thought, me pointing this out has ruined my chances of getting into this "ironic situation". Oh well.

Try playing around with CSS. You can do some quite striking things with it, without overloading things with pictures, and you can also do some cool things with pictures you can't do with regular HTML.

For some ideas; go check out the CSS Zen Garden.

I'm just looking for something that's really eye-catching, that will attract visitors.

The info on my site is solid, and I've got people that can write stuff whenever, so that's not an issue at all.

It's all about the look of the site. I need something new that will draw in lots of hits.

I've been looking for something new for over a year, and I'm sick of it. Like I said, I'm willing to pay into triple-figures (as in over $100 USD) if it really works.

Well, I got 960kbps (way faster than dial up), and even at that speed, it takes a while to load that page, that gets distractign and annoying.

So, IMAO, that's not the way to go.

Let's start the bidding at $25 CDN. (BTW, there are 3 themes; look to the right.)

If you're all so great at designing, make something and I'll pay you for it.

Yeah. Take a look at my page. It might not be very pretty, but even people with insanely slow connections can load it. And the bandwidth usage is extremely low. I can fit the entire site on a floppy disk! (Note: Not including all the archived stuff which is not essential to the site.)

See, that's the thing, I think you look at webdesign with the wrong attitude (your specific mention of Photoshop is what suggests this).

You need to design something for your VISITORS... they might be on 4k dialup
