Ask HN: Looking for a great Web Site Designer. Who do you recommend?

#1
Hi,

We are Gerger (www.gerger.co), the creators of Formspider (www.theformspider.com), the Web 2.0 framework for Oracle PL/SQL developers. We are preparing a new version of our product and we would like to renew our product web site www.theformspider.com along with it.

Our product Formspider is for a specific group of developers namely, the Oracle PL/SQL developers. It's mainly used in mid to large size companies to build Budgeting, Accounting, Order Management, HR, ERP etc.. software.

Current Web site was done by us a year and a half ago. It's nice but building web sites is not our focus. The site is also showing its age.

Formspider impresses our users with its simple and elegant design. It is perceived as an unusually high quality, very innovative product built with care and attention to detail. We would like our new web site reflect these facts.

We want a simple yet beautiful design in our web site. Readable large fonts, excellent copyright, gorgeous pictures, icons and screen shots should provide a enjoyable experience to the visitor. We don't want run of the mill, stock photos, icons and text anywhere on the site. Each page needs to be individually crafted and be of excellent quality.

The entire goal of the web site is to reflect the high quality of our product.

Our favorite product, company web sites are www.apple.com (you should have seen this coming at this point :-) ) and http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/

We've been struggling to find a freelancer or a team that can get this done. I thought of asking you on HN hoping that you can help.

Best, Yalim

There should be a who's hiring thread later today, that would be a better place to post this: http://news.ycombinator.org/user?id=whoishiring

Thank you. We are not hiring. We are looking for a freelancer or a company to do the work. Would that still be the right place to post?

There is also a freelancer thread. Keep posted, it should go live in the coming minutes.

I can strongly recommend Dennis Covent - http://denniscovent.com/ He recently designed a site for me, and I was really impressed with the quality of his work, and his responsiveness and attitude throughout the project.

I'll check it out. Many thanks.
