Looking for a Web Design Freelancer

**Rocket2Uranus** · 12-04-2002, 10:04 PM

I am considering 'hiring' a web design freelancer to help me develop new client sites and revamp current client sites. In searching the net I have not had an easy time finding people who freelance (surprisingly enough!) in web design

I use Front Page to design and maintain my sites, and would prefer any freelancer I work with to do the same (since I will be doing regular maintenance to the site)

I handle all Hosting and domain management - I just need a designer. If anyone here is interested in more info, please feel free to pm me.

you will be able to find freelancers quite easily i would have though
there are many freelance forums on the web where they hang out - i have a list of some on the links page of affiliate review

how good a designer are you looking for anyways?

**Rocket2Uranus** · 12-05-2002, 05:54 AM

Not too good - my budget is limited

- just someone a little better than me.

**system0** · 12-05-2002, 05:56 AM

have yo got examples of your work so that members can determine if they are good enough

**Rocket2Uranus** · 12-05-2002, 07:02 AM

I have put up a page with more information (including examples) here:

And for the record, you don't have to be that good to be better than me

Even though this is really not my thing, I have a friend that is great with flash MX. He has graduated witha BFA in Graphic design and does freelance work in flash. If you could do the Html I am sure that he would love to help you on the rest...at a low price.

I don't understand - you say you use FrontPage - your helpwanted site was written in NotePad - had you used any Frontpage Template it would have looked much better. If that's your best you can do then I have to say anyone using Frontpage is much better than you. That would include me.

Not actively, but I am always interested in names of interested parties for the file.

I never use templates - all of my work is started on a clean pallette. The help wanted page was done in front page, but it was not meant to be a sample of 'my best' - it was simply meant to convey my message.

Sorry if I missed something but when I start off with a clean palette using FrontPage the view source always shows FrontPage and not word pad - maybe things have changed since I last published?

Don't always believe what you see - there are tools available that remove that junk. It's nobody's business what editor I use to design my pages, unless I want them to know. Especially when I use Microsoft - the shame alone is enough to justify the removal of the FP meta crap.

You are absolutely right - and there are also tools to disable the right click - thus disabling the source code. What I don't understand is this: If you thought this was such a HOT site that you would have to hide the Editor - why then would you reveal the source code? Just doesn't jive!

**Rocket2Uranus** · 02-09-2003, 09:51 PM

Is this really that interesting to you? Hiding the front page crap has nothing to do with thinking my site is so hot. It is something I do on all of my sites, as much to spite Microsoft as to protect my choice for privacy. Disabling the right-click is not something I've ever felt the desire to do, mostly because there is nothing that unique or proprietary in my code to hide. Besides, disabling the right-click does nothing to keep people from looking at your source code - it just closes one of the two easy avenues to doing it.

Sorry if I sound like a loser to you - but yes it really is that interesting to me. What is the other easy avenue to viewing the source code? If the right click is disabled so is the menu view - then what other way is there of viewing the source code?

**Rocket2Uranus** · 02-09-2003, 10:26 PM

If you can't view it from the menu, you could always save the page (or find it in your temp directory) and open it via notepad

**scottatmu** · 02-09-2003, 10:28 PM

all confusion of arguing aside and i apologize for re-starting this thread ... but are you still interested in a web designer because he has some time right now to do design work for you.

Not actively, but I am always interested in names of interested parties for the file. I don't have any flash designers at the moment, so if the need comes up I'll certainly look him up.

Thanks!
