there are a lot of things to keep in mind. Most designers will say "yes I can do it" and that would be true in most cases. But if you want some accuracy, you'll need to define things. ie: which niche? are they going to be FHG or galleries you want to submit by yourself? if the second: do you plan to submit to sites like The Hun or to thumbs TGPs? what about thumbs? do you want to be generic templates so you could add thumbs at a later time or do you want the thumbs added in the gallery from the start? if the second: would you provide the set with the given amount of pics or do you want the designer to choose 16/20/whatever pics from a batch? interactivity? RSS galleries for blogs? script enhanced galleries?
as you can see, there's more than simply throwing some thumbs in a template. You've marketing (as Bake mentioned) and you've behavior, technology, features and so on. Personally, I don't do galleries anymore unless I'm specially requested by my clients and usually as a favor, because most people won't pay what I need to charge. And certainly I would never work without an upfront payment, so the best I can do within your requirements is recommend you Deej or a guy called Xerex or something like that. Fletch used to do simple yet nice galleries as well, dunno if he still does them since I see his wife is recommending him for banners in this same thread, but anyway, worth asking  |
Right. That's exactly why I am looking for the best and not the cheapest. That's why I paid my designer more than he quoted me and same for Deej my webmaster and my programer. I shoot great photos, so I want to use those photos to attract people to my new site redesign of
www.Petergirls.com . It took a long time to shoot and build. I've been trough 3 outsourcing companies and finally it's tits (do people still say that?) and ready to rock. Now, who wants to work? Americans only. I love people from all walks of life... but I need someone who speaks English better than me and my surfers, that understands what they are doing and why they are doing it. Someone that knows the art of the tease and can impliment it on HTML and with my photos. Yeah, I want someone to work smart, not just hard. So, who's the baddest mofo around? Fletch? I'll hire him. Who has his contact info?
