Can Someone refer me to a good web site design firm. I am not looking for something sofisticated or expensive. I need something simple and elegant just to show my company and my work.
thanks

wagurto,

You might consider a Flash template website. There are loads of them out there and very cheep, just Google Flash Website Template. Here's mine for instance...it cost me $50.00, and there are plenty much fancier.

wagurto,

I went down a aimilar path to RonB. I used a template from http://www.hypertemplates.com (they've got '000's!) to produce my new site -

Richard I love your web site. That's exactly what I am looking for. Very simple and Elegant. It's that a template or what?
How much did you expend on that web site?

All this template stuff sounds good.

wagurto, thanks for the compliment! I think the template was $75 and all I had to do was change the images and text.

will, templates are a good idea but it took longer than I had hoped as I had to learn abit of flash first! hypertemplates do add a design service where they will build the whole site for you, you just supply the images and text but that costs extra.

Richard, could you tell us which template you used to create your site? I'm not trying to steal it :lol: but I want to see how much variation from the original you were able to achieve.

I like how the site lists how many times a particular template has been downloaded, but I don't trust my artistic skills enough to truly make the site "my own." Thanks.

What software do you need to edit the template?

misterasset,

I cant remember the template number but it was in the photography section, I browsed through several pages until I found one I liked.

It's basically exactly the same as the template supplied with different pictures and different section title, comments, etc.

P.S. the free tech support is fantastic. I was having trouble with finding the section title (they were 'hidden' inside an obscure flash object) I contacted tech support via a internet chat interface. They tried to help me out online but in the end sent a screen grab video of the tech guy making the changes, it was fool proof!
