Very frustrated! Need a Web designer!

11 replies
Hi Warriors!

I've got Web design problems and need some help.

I went back to my Web designer about a month ago to tweak/update my Web design. I didn't want a whole design overhaul as I was fairly happy with it over all.

I've known this designer for several years and she's done all of my design work over the years. She does a good job, but right now I'm EXTREMELY frustrated. The design is still not what I want and she's NOT responding to me. To be fair, it IS a holiday weekend and I know she has a family. But what should have taken no more than a week (two weeks max) has now stretched out for over a month. (I contacted her about this project before Thanksgiving.) And it's often DAYS before I hear from her.

I'm pretty upset right now and the the fact that it's STILL not done has put a HUGE kink in my marketing plans. I had plans to do some serious promotion the week between Christmas and New Year's. (Actually, I'd hoped to do some marketing the week before Christmas too.) However, I feel like my hands are tied because the site still isn't done. (I don't feel it's very professional to do any serious marketing until the site is done.)

I need help! I think I'm looking for a mini site design. My site has six pages. I don't need or want any more than that. I think I need ONE web page design and then I can duplicate it six times and insert the copy for each of the six pages.

I saw something somewhere here about mini-site wars or something a while back. Should I look at that?

Right now, my available funds are limited for this project. I hate to say that, but I've paid as I went along for the site design I've got and now am faced with the prospect of needing an entire site re-design. (Arrrggghhh!)

If you know of someone who can help me -- THIS WEEKEND -- or if you can help me, please PM me. My main requirements right now are that

1. You can help me NOW

and

2. You respond to my questions in a timely manner.

Because I need this done ASAP, I will need someone who can respond to me on weekends and in the evenings. I don't expect a response two minutes after I send an e-mail, but I need one within 24 hours or less.

Thanks,
Michelle

    If you are looking for a mini site design you can check with warriors Jay Young and Alexandre Valois both do very good work and for a good price.

      Thanks Eric!

      Joel,

      I was able to send a PM to Alexandre, but I'm not able to find Jay Young through a search here. Does he use his name as his screen name?

      Thanks,
      Michelle

    Is it just minisite graphics that you need?

    I have any that you like I'd be happy to let you have them without having to
    join.

    Check these out and if you see any you like just let me know...

      Hi Lynn,

      Yes, I DO need an entire mini-site re-design. I really like your graphics packages though! Unfortunately, none seem quite right for me.


      Thanks,
      Michelle

      Thanks for all of your help guys! I appreciate it.

      I have found someone and already sent in my deposit. Hopefully I will get what I need. (I'm still a bit nervous considering that a designer I've known for YEARS hasn't given me what I need this time around and has created a rather serious problem for me in my marketing timeline.)

      If he can give me a design I like and what I need, I'll give him a HUGE testimonial for getting me out of this bind.

      Thank you to everyone for information on design services and the recommendations. I greatly appreciate it.

      Sincerely,
      Michelle
