OK, I've got a website I really like for products that we sell. However, it needs a bit of a revamp in a few places.

We do use CSS lightly, but I want the whole thing redone in CSS fully so that we can switch between "Windows" and "OS X" themes.

Second, we need the home page redone and our menu bar populated with either CSS or JS menus.

I'm looking for someone that I can work with quickly and get this done now. So I'm looking around the web and decided to ask here as well.

Either PM me, email me, or just reply here if you're interested.

Just a note for others reading this post.

There are 3 kinds of clients:

1- The ones that doesn't know anything about web design

2- The ones that pretend to know web design

3- The ones that know web design



The customer above is #2

Maybe it's just a matter of not communicating effectively.

Just my 2 cents

Hm. You are a bit rude and stupid. Let me give you my qualifications.

First of all - I know NOTHING about web design and do not pretend anything. I was a REAL web developer for 6 years (web applications, doing eCommerce, eLearning, etc... since 1995). I put on a passable web front end and let someone else pretty it up for me.

I am very technically oriented in that I understand the technical aspects of web design, but I don't have a visual creative bone in my body.

I outsource. The website you see now was done by a professional web designer, but I maintain it.

I DO know what the site needs. It needs a visual overhaul, a way to declutter, but also technically for my sake as the maintainer, it needs to be reworked with a new CSS design so that instead of working with individual colors, styles, etc... on each page as if each page was on its own, I want to have a global color scheme and layout directed through CSS. One other part of this is I want the site to be able to literally "change its skin" depending on the visitor to the site.

So please, take your BS and take it to your clients. You added nothing to this post but insults and stupidity.

No need to get insulted. As I posted above "Maybe it's just a matter of not communicating effectively."
You did not convey on your first post what you did on your second.

Sorry about that. I thought you had meant something else with that comment.

I had no problem understanding what he meant in his 1st post. Anyone having dealt with XHTML/CSS before should not have either... maybe you're the one who pretends to know about webdesign

Yep..

[alex_kac]

Hey guys I'm just a developer/business man who is trying to find somebody who can update our site with the skills required. No more, no less

I don't want to turn this into a frag-fest.

[derbs]

damn Nica, that was totally unnecessary.

Do you manage to get much work with an attitude like that...?!

you forgot one:

4- The kick ass ones who are a complete joy to work for; whom you wish every client was modeled on, and remain friends with to this day

you were a bit out of line back there, as everyone else has said. i mean, even i don't flame in this forum. that's what the Lounge is for. people come here for answers to questions; not attitude problems.

i hereby sentence you to go and display the same attitude in the OS X forum, or the Lounge, for a week. let's see how long you last in there

Hey look it maybe was to harsh of a comment but lately my clients have not been

4- The kick ass ones who are a complete joy to work for; whom you wish every client was modeled on, and remain friends with to this day

But the fact remains that there are horrible clients out there and it's a pain to deal with them.

And again no need to get insulted
