Ok. I admit it. I'm not a web designer. I'll not try to do it again, I promise. At least I'll try to.

But I know that more than thousand people a day read this web page and therefore, I'm hoping that someone out there knows a web designer who rocks and who's really worth his money.

Let me repeat: I'm looking for a web designer! My business is currently spread out on a number of different web sites whereas one is dotnetremoting.cc, one is heavily outdated, one is currently in planning stage, and the last one just looks plain ugly right now.

I'd like to have them all redesigned and they should sport a similar design so that one could see that they actually belong together. 

So, what I'd like to find is a one-stop-shop for the following things:

• Frontpages and content templates for the combination of my business site and dotnetremoting.cc. Layout should be similar for both sites but still distinguishable.
• Templates for my Weblog ... I guess this one would be similar to the above one anyway. No need to provide the templates in a special format. HTML is fine. I do the rest.
• A logo for my business (aka for me) and therefore for my new site. Also all graphics for the new site.
• A little bit of cool. I don't want a text-only page but also nothing too fancy.

Just to clarify. What I don't need is

• A proposal for a new USD 100,000.00 web monster. Can't afford this - sorry folks, I wish I could. Please, only serious price ranges ...
• A full web site. I just need some template pages. I'll put the content in myself.
• Any copy of another site with changed name. Please, only original ideas. Just because microsoft.com looks great doesn't mean that dotnetremoting.cc would look great in the same design.
• Also please don't be too fancy. The sites are mostly content sites. If you are looking for the right example of "fancy", http://www.gotdotnet.com would be fine. Maybe a little less fancy. But as said above, I don't want a copy of any site ... be creative ;-)
• No stock photos. I'm not a bigCo, I don't have a carefully crafted marketing message which needs to be supported by the right photos.
• Search engine submissions, hosting, domain registration or other fancy services.

If you think that you know someone who really rocks as a web designer and who'd be looking for a small contract gig like this, please point them towards this page and let them drop me a note (please also include links to previous work and some indication on the approximate cost and time needed for such an endeavor).

Thanks for your help!
