Please suggest some talented designers who can beautify a web app

5 points by omeega ↗ HN
Im finished my web app. Its has a very simple design. Its a list of links (think hacker-news/reddit). Now Im looking for a high end developer who can help me bring the look and feel of the site up a few notches (by producing a couple of mockups). The reason I need a high end developer is because the site design is very constrained since its just a list of links. The only other major element of the site is the header.

Where can I find high end designers who are willing to work on such a job? Please suggest any designers that you know are quality and are available.

E-mail me: daniel@abigfisch.com - I don't have time to work on anything myself but I can forward you to a few people.

Take a look at www.dribbble.com and find one you like. Virtually everyone there has their Twitter id linked so you could contact them.

Another alternative is browse designers on Sortfolio: www.sortfolio.com

+1 to both of these suggestions. Essentially, find designs you like, then find who did it and send them an email/Twitter intro.

If you're going after well known designers though, don't be surprised if their quote is higher than you think it should be. If someone is well known and in high demand, then their price goes up accordingly.

Easy peasy, I'll give you some CSS3 love.

You're switching from the word 'designer' to 'developer' in this post and the titles are definitely not interchangeable

Can help you out. Based in Australia (though will be in US for all of August) but have done loads of work via email/IM for clients in the US. Can provide contacts as a reference.
