I'm in the same predicament. I'm a programmer that loves great designs, but I am unable to think the way a designers do. Fortunately I have a good friend that does great work and is willing to give me a decent discount since we were buddies in college: http://www.noltedesign.com/portfolio.html.
Another option is to put your idea out there for bidding: http://programmermeetdesigner.com. It's a newer website created to tackle just this problem. I haven't used it yet since my friend does most of my work, but I like the idea. Ryan On 3/14/07, Phlip <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Here's a sample: http://www.burnerstudios.com/ It's a little Flash-y, and I don't know where his static HTML portfolios are. They are very lean and clean. He has a good feel for how to fit the small details into the big picture. My own layouts are sights that only a programmer could love. ;-) -- Phlip http://www.greencheese.us/ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!! _______________________________________________ Sdruby mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sdruby.com/mailman/listinfo/sdruby
