web designers?

[martygreene]

Anyone have any suggestions for good web designers/web design groups? As much as I'd love to, I cannot make my own site as I just don't have the skills needed to make something professional, but I do need a portfolio site and soon.

I also can't afford the people I REALLY want, because- well, their client base includes such names as MTV, National Geographic, COSMO, Phish, They Might Be Giants, to name a few. They make smashing sites though.

So yeah, anyone have any suggestions? I know one person who does this for a living, however she predominantly makes flash sites, and I don't really want to use flash.

well... i could definitely make you a jennthorton kind of site. her's is just a bunch of pretty gif files and straight-up tables.

i'm not that good at css yet. BUT i think what you are really after, when going to the spiderwick site.. is that you are just a big fan of filligree. this is fine. i'm a big fan of filligree. my 3rd favorite font is Dalliance.

have you been to the Holly Black (the writer for spiderwick) site? blackholly.com? it's also fairly simple and straight-forward. it's pretty, but it gets the job done.

my advice. bradley is better than me. his website is http://adrenachrome.com/
however, bradley is often busy and bradley will probably charge you... but he might not charge you that much since your site would be fairly simple.

again, i charge beer.
