I found one designer who did the most awesome designs at great prices and has (had??) a well-respected reputation in the industry. Unfortunately it took him nearly 4 months to finish the projects, and one still is not done almost 6 months later. I'm still owed several other sites.

Meanwhile, he referred me to someone else to do work that was waiting.

One designer did SUCH an awful job that I dumped his designs. Before I did, I showed it to several other designers who all said a 5-year old could have done a better job, that the buttons looked like a newbie to Photoshop and the fonts were horrendous. I won't reveal who it is but others think he does awesome work (from comments on this very board). I can easily see why people issue chargebacks against designers (yes, I asked him to fix the buttons and fonts and he told me he'd already spent enough time on my sites, was not doing any more work on them, period).

In the interim, I found someone who does incredible work, and on time. He's not well-known, he doesn't have a portfolio, but what he does is highly professional and on time.

I had one person design something for me and install a script and gee whiz, after I told him I didn't need more work done, 1/3 of the files disappeared into thin air. Yes, that will teach me not to wait 24 hours to change the FTP password

All in all, I'd say designers are like any other industry out there, there are good, and there are bad.
