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.

I agree, the thorton site is lovely. Her designer quoted me at waaaaaay more than I felt was reasonable though.

Personally, I like the idea of a watercolor in the early stages of painting- at least in my style, which means just background texture. I've got an image that has the sort of thing I'm thinking of, which I can give you.

Let me check with my financial situation and my benefactors (aka my mother, gd love the woman she's still helping me out with life- granted my help is low budget, but it's help nonetheless!), and check back in with you. Do you have an email/aim screenname at which I can reach you?
