Freelance Designers - I Need The Following Stuff - NO OUTSOURCING COMPANIES
 

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE POSTING


In order to not sound like a dick (which I am not), please, if you cannot provide this, don't respond. I have been through the mill with some designers and I just don't have time to play games anymore. I always post what I want and I always get slam spammed by tons of unqualified people, so I figured this time I would post what I don't want in correlation with what I do. I will hold you to this if I end up using you. I'm super nice to work for but I take this heart attack serious. :) :thumbsup




Here is what I have on the table to finish:

1 massive mega tour with multiple pages
2 MAS members area template designs
1 cuttin edge solo girl site design
150 hosted galleries (minimum)
banner packages for 9 seperate sites



You must and must not have:

- CREATIVITY - CREATIVITY - CREATIVITY - CREATIVITY - - CREATIVITY -

1 - MUST HAVE Massive Creativity - If you can't do something that looks completely different than anything out there with your own flare I cannot use you. I do not want a cookie cutter, seen it 100 times tour. MUST NOT have a tunnel visioned approach to tour design.

SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL - SELL -

2- MUST HAVE the knowledge and know how to sell the product - A good designer knows how to build a tour that sells. I know how to sell on a tour, I will provide you the guidance you need to create me a quality product. The days of going back and forth change this change that 20 times are over for me.

TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME - TIME

3- MUST HAVE Turnaround Time - I don't know how many times I have gotten into projects with designers that the agreement is a few weeks and it ends up being a month and a half. If you tell me something will be delivered at a certain time, thats what I base my pending decisions on. A timeline is a timeline. Your other projects are not my concern. No offense. This is business. MUST NOT have time problems.

COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION

4- MUST HAVE Communication - If I cannot call you on the phone and get my desires explained to you over the phone, I cannot use you. I need to call you directly and talk to you on ICQ during your regular business hours. MUST NOT have bad communication skills.

5- NO OUTSOURCING - Won't consider it, please don't ask.

6- PRICING - This is a given.

I don't think this is a lot to ask. The cream comes to the top I think when you state your expectations ahead of time. I am looking for a long standing relationship.

I have a few designers that I work with now, you are doing a great job, I jsut need more manpower, don't fret.

Email me your portfolio info to airek at shanesworld.com. I am sorry for the next few days I don't have a ton of time to talk on ICQ. I will review your site work and hosted galls and banners and such and get back to you ASAP if you fit what I am looking for.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

too much text, not enough pics. you're talking to designers, man! :winkwink: :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup :Oh crap

Creativity + knowledge + Time + Communication - Outsourcing= $$$$$

A1R3K, hit me up. I have a great guy and I can assure you that if you use us I will ride his ass like am Asian whore.

Plus I am on ICQ nearly 24/7.

Plus I am a regular English speaking guy.

Plus ... well just hit me up.

hello i am an freelance so if you are interested please contact me to email in sig. i cant send references at public so will be sent as reply. i can do that work for you, you decide :upsidedow

ps: email sent

not sure i understand what that means.

coolio.

hitting you up when i have a free second.

no outsourcing = lots of $$$$

i don't recall being afraid to pay a fair price. the reason i don't want outsourcing is because i am sick of working with people that are asleep when i am working and you can't call and they conveniently are not on icq when the deadlines approach. you can get great design for a fair price. everyone has competition and everyone always wants work. :)

Nah... I can hook a Ninja up for not much, DOH!

I don't want to sound like a dick but aren't you "outsourcing" if you're not getting shit done inhouse? Maybe what you meant was no "offshore" outsourcing?

hey headless, that Chloe banner, is that for dormbucks?

just wondering because that chick in the banner posed for us.

Hey AIR3K, check out Harvey from http://www.fdsign.com/ He's done work for us and a few friends doing paysites/fhgs/affiliate areas/members areas. I can now say enough about the quality of his work as well as how easy it is to work with him (unlike other designers, he's actually available when you need to talk to him).

you've got mail. ;)
