I have a similar request, and am having trouble finding someone experienced with Joomla that can give my site a finished touch. I have been using Joomla for about a year now and have a site up and running with a workable layout. I also have a RocketTheme membership and understand how to apply templates. However, I do not have a designer's eye and I would like help not only selecting an appropriate template but also identifying graphics (or adding appropriate photography) that would help my site. I have some examples of sites in my industry that I like (no idea if they are Joomla based, probaby not).
My business is a small law firm that focuses on drafting and filing software patent applications, and I am a former Microsoft developer. The site should project a professional image and highlight my technical background. I am in Seattle, and so far everyone I am talking to locally wants to redesign my whole site on another platform (Wordpress usually, or some totally custom), mainly because they have not used Joomla rather than any limitation of Joomla for what I want to do. That of course leads them to want to charge me much more than the value of what I actually need done. My web site is important for my business and paying for the service I need is not the issue, but I do need to get value for the money I spend.
If you are interested, contact me directly (
mason@boswellip.com or (425) 442-2798) and preferably send me some examples of what you have done before that I can take a look at. I do not care where you are located as I do plenty of client work all across the U.S. myself and am happy to interact primarily by email.
Thanks,
- Mason
