I know there have been a million posts and answers on the topic of who is a good web designer ... but here is one more.

My experience to date has not been positive. Any recommendations of professional individuals/companies would be useful. Some highlights of what I require/don't require:

My experience so far has been that designers take a ... hands off approach ... asking/requiring of me what I want, how I want it to look, etc. and designs very narrowly/specifically. NO. What I require is a professional developer (not just designer) who knows the adult web business well, with considerable experience, and can conduct a professional assessment of niche business needs, assess the market/competition, and provide me with a detailed web development/design plan, and also able to undertake that development/design or coordinate the completion of the project through sub-contractors.
The work needs to be custom. I will not accept, for example, a Wordpress theme from a portfolio that has simply had the colours and header text/image changed.
I am currently using Wordpress on many of the sites that I need re-developed/designed, and I am not even certain that the way forward includes the continued use of Wordpress or any other blog/CMS platform. However, that determination will be part of the overall assessment and plan development.
The project may also include a marketing/promotion strategy, depending on the capabilities and recommendations of the professional contracted to do the work.

Thank you for any referrals/suggestions. Please contact drriley at gmail dot com or 447174938 (IM).
