Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a REALLY good web designer. I'll pay more for awesome design, but am having a hard time finding anyone I like that's available for work.

Anyone know of any high end badass web designers that are available to work on a project for higher than average pay, if needed?

You can PM me if you're a web guy and have a portfolio, or if anyone knows of anyone, or has straight up links to great designers, it would help me out a ton - thanks!

    I've tried looking here for this before, but was unsuccessful. I found lots of mediocre designers, though.

    Good luck -- sincerely.

    davesmlmtips,

    It would help the designers on the forum if you posted an example of what you think is awesome design work.

    Here are some examples of sites that I think are cool for various, different reasons, just add a .com to the end of the bold words:

    mlmleadsystempro - the MAIN blog looks slick, except I don't like the flowery letters on the opt in form.
    brianfanale - very cool looking personal blog, easy to navigate/look at, etc
    jaykubassek
    carboncopypro
    mashable (for functionality, not design)
    thinkvitamin
    elliotjaystocks
    blog.squarespace (different, but quite cool)
    vimeo.com
    localmobilemonopoly - this is a really different sales letter, I like it.

    Anyways, those are a bunch of sites that I think are badass, I was going to add dailymotion onto it, but they change the design all the time and it's never a good static example. I also like the capture page here: limitlessleadsforlife

    Anyways, those are some examples, it's really probably a preference thing, most of them have a general flow that runs through almost all of them.

    Does that help?

    Dont think your gonna get out with just 6 or 700.00 on this one though. Looks like your looking for a well developed web presence. Get the wallet out.

      Hi mate,

      From experience, I've found it's rare to find a good web designer and here's why. Good graphic designers don't necessarily have the skills to code the website. And on the flip side, good web programmers aren't usually that good at design.

      So, the best solution, is to hire them separately. Get a graphic designer to create the look and style of the site. Then get someone else to code it.

      You won't be sorry doing it this way. Thank me later.

        Taat is very true, you need to look for a webshop with good graphics designers and good web coders who can do a complete package.
