I can, but i wont. Does that help ?

just purchase one off of Templatemonster

It seems like it is really hard to even book a designer who does professional high quality design. They are booked out for at least 6 months. But they do work for big companies and deliver excellent results.

You can look at their portfolios for inspiration of what you wish you could have;p

Quoted for truth. :2 cents:

ok maybe i was just exaggerating a little. I didn't mean I wanted to hire a design company that does design for fortune 500 companies... ( i don't think many, if anyone here does that anyway). I want to hire someone who can do good quality design for mainstream sites that is on the level (or close to) a very professionally done looking site.

Oh I don't mean fortune 500 companies. I'm just talking from my own personal experience of looking for designers, which design companies are even taking on projects, working with my budget, and then seeing who I can hire based on that.

I'm not sure what you need done, but I never need anything too complicated. So I've just decided to learn how to design and code my own projects. Because I can't hire the designers that are the right fit for my aesthetic. Those designers are usually booked for the next 12 months and I've never seen their quotes, but I can just imagine the cost!

Good luck on your search though:)

which design companies are even taking projects?

Where are you looking. You could get tons of designers on here to do work for you today, that do decent work for a good price. It might take them a week or so to do the work, but not to start it.

Bookmarked. I'll be looking for the same in the next month or so.

If you could, you would.

Noted. Filed under "He can't afford a real designer, so he's trying to get cheap work on GFY."

Word. Filed here under the same category.

Word... filed under " I would rather argue than do work and make money" with potential clients.


lol. you people are a bunch of idiots.

Of course I am trying to get something cheap. Why? because I don't want to pay more than I need to regardless of how much money I have.

In today's economy I know I can find a quality designer for $1,000 - $2,000 range to do a professional looking site for me, not canned template or amateur looking shit. I just need site design, going to do a $500 logo tournament to get the logo done. Oh well, I though I would offer it to GFY designers first but you guys rather argue and speculate how much money I have instead.

How would you react if a designer here posted a thread and said, "I'm looking for clients with high-end work that pays high-end prices, but I'm only going to do low-grade shit work in return for it... spam me with big clients with money to burn."

Now apply that in reverse. Here you are, a potential client to somebody, but you state up front you don't want to pay what the job is worth. How did you expect us to react? Groveling at your feet for your precious work?

You are so far off base, out in left field. I didn't discuss prices in my original post. Once I saw the person's portfolio I would have either seen their prices or we would have talked about prices then.

I only commented to the smart ass comment asking if I was going to pay fortune 500 professional prices. Which I gather fortune 500 companies likely spend several thousands of dollars for a simple add muchless a site. So, no I am not looking to spend that much money, and my reply was smart ass to the smart ass question. Which then means I am broke and can't pay for design or what the fuck ever, which is why i'll just stop brining potential business to GFY members and go else where like logo tournament for everything because all you fucking people do here is want to argue now, even when I am trying to spend money here.

Off base?

Okay that's fair, you did not mention prices in the OP, but you did ask for a designer that does fortune 500 level work:

and then later "commented to the smart ass comment" by stating that you would not pay fortune 500 prices:

AlCapone: will76: So then when your response was duly noted by at least two of us, you throw a tantrum, threaten to take your "business" (that you expect a screaming deal on) elsewhere, and toss a board-wide insult for good measure? Classy.

I don't think logo tournament is going to do a fortune 500 design for you for less than fortune 500 prices either. They'll do what they get paid to do. Standard logo for a standard client.

How big is your budget?

Oh I'm not looking anymore, I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to find a designer who will be able to do the job for $1000 - $2000 quickly and without a lot of back and forth.

Maybe you would have more success if you were in the same room as the designer. But you know you have a problem when you end up having to pay for a finished project that includes PSD files with several spelling errors, grammar errors, and sentences that don't even sell the niche that you are trying to target with your site.

If a designer expects you to pay $1000 + and then correct their PSD files, then there is a serious problem with the way that designer works.

Yep...he clearly made a bad choice of words in the original post. I wonder if that company that designed Pepsi's new logo would do logos for a couple hundred bucks for me...

Thats what you would think right? I guess not on GFY.


LOL I give up. Seriously. I'm done with GFY. This turns into an arguement because I said "fortune 500 looking " design. I am not trying to hire someone who does work for pepsi. What I meant was I am looking for someone good, better than typical cookie cutter sites and monster template stuff.

No I don't want to pay Tens of thousands of dollars and I doubt any of you posting here have charged tens of thousands of dollars for design at least not of recent times.

So instead of just inquiring how much I have to spend, or hitting me up directly, etc... I get attacked and "Word! Noted!" that i must be broke or whatever.

IMO the people at logo tournament do a great job www.logotournament.com/portfolio and for $500 I can get a very professional logo done. I am sure I could pay several thousand for a logo but why when I can get a good one for $500. I guess that means I am c heap or broke to because I don't want to spend more money than I have to?

This thread, and a few others sealed it for me. I'm done with gfy for while or things get better around here. Fuck, I can understand you g uys arguing and wasting all day in political, current events, or sports threads, arguing about nothing like a bunch of idiots just wasting their time, but now you are carrying that shit over into business threads or simple threads where I am asking people to contact me and send me their portfolio because I am looking to hire them? wtf is wrong with you?

i'm out.

ok bye. no one cares.



.

Good luck. You certainly come across as a real dream client.

How about not passing the blame for your poor choice of words to the rest of us. They were your words, no one else's. It's very obvious from what you said that you expect First Class "fortune 500" work, but you come here because you think you can get it for bargain basement prices from some dude that's starving so bad he'll do it for peanuts and be happy about it. Then you piss all over everyone when we tell you to fuck off. You are the one asking for fortune 500 work. And you are the one whining about you being broke. No one else dude. No one "attacked" you. You were asked your budget for this, and short of stating it directly, you clearly indicated you would not pay what it's worth.

Yeah, it's our fault dude. Good riddance.

Sounds like someone has some Mainstream plans.
