Hi, I've only ever worked with a designer once, and all he gave me was photoshop files that I used as references, and some flash stuff for this weird flash heavy site. However, I was thinking about a designer for my three websites I just launched, lmsotfy.com, lmsutfy.com and lmsftfy.com. Since I never worked with a designer before, I'm looking for how realistic my expectations are. Let me know if what I want is crazy, please.
First of all price. I'd probably be looking to spend about $200. My sites are pretty simple without a lot of content. There is one PHP script that generates 2 versions of the same view.. Second, I'm looking for a designer that can give me actual html, or preferable edit the php file directly. Beingable to give them readonly svn accesss, or access to a branch and getting a patch would be ideal Third, I want someone who is a designer first. I spend more time looking at my webpages through a view source window or the xhtml validator than the actual page itself. I want a designer that thinks visually Fourth, I want validated xhtml 1.0 strict. I'd be willing to consider another html flavor, but only for a good reason. Fifthly, I don't care what country the person I hire lives in, but being local enough to meet in person would be a nice thing. In summary I mainly need someone with actual artistic vision to make my page look pretty. However, I don't want to be given a PSD file I'll have to chop up myself.
