I have a new business that I need a logo design and there is a web site where you give the name and concept. Then, (hopefully) several designers will place their design on the site for you to choose from and purchase.
The site your looking for is http://www.99designs.com
cheers
title says it all. im about to start a small business, and i feel a website is essential.
The link below is for a web designer directory, narrowed down to Alabama.

Make sure to look at portfolios for any company you look at. The best indicator of the quality of their work is the quality of their past work.
Keep in mind also that you can deal with a web designer in any state or country. They can keep you up to date on the project via the net with a temporary site location.

ok this is my 3rd web design question in half an hour because I am confusing myself and going off on tangents!!….
Im going to be as direct and simple as possible.
I need a site which will take user profiles, similar to how like a dating site does, except not a dating site!
People will need to verify themselves before entering infomation in their profile.
People searching or browsing profiles will also need to verify themselves although they will have the option of wether or not they have a profile, where as the users wont.
Their will be two catagories for people, people with profiles and people who browse the profiles… (I cnt say much more but I promise it makes sense!)
There will need to be also, something like yahoo answers has with different topics, so different catagories emerge and are chosen for different users….
I know nothing about how to start, the info available is overwhelming and I dont want to stuff it up.
How do u tell the dif btween simple html and hard?
The reason I ask is the price difference…. I read that simple html is easy therefore costs less but incorprating things like flash are harder…
Which would mine fall under?
Simple HTML can only be used to design simple web sites (i.e., those without "smart" features like a log-in and profile database). For more complex features (like what you describe) you will probably need to incorporate a server-side database (like SQL or MySQL) and a server-side scripting language to interface with the database (like PHP, ColdFusion, or ASP). You will not need Flash (to do what you describe, at least); however, to make a particularly good site you will definitely need to use CSS (to style your HTML), and you will probably also end up using JavaScript and XML (to streamline your "smart" features).
In short, to make a good site that has the features you described, you will need HTML to form the skeleton of the visible site, CSS to stylize the HTML so that it looks good, a database (like SQL or MySQL) to hold the user information, and a server-side scripting language (like PHP) to perform data-handling functions.
You can learn about HTML (http://www.w3schools.com/html) and CSS (http://www.w3schools.com/css/) from the W3C Schools, and you can learn about PHP from PHP.net (http://www.php.net/).
I have paid someone to design this site for me. I’ve been told by the designer that it is complete. I know nothing about managing or maintaining a web site. Does this look like a finished product to you? The designer said they will now turn it over to me to arrange the catagories as to how I want them. How easy will that be for me to do without any experience?

Also, how much should I expect to pay someone to moderate the site for me? The designer has offered to do that.
Also, will I be able to get another designer to spruce up this site a little? If I know some Dreamweaver and Photoshop, can I do the design of this website any differently?
Actually, the designer just now told me they would charge $150. a month. Is this a good deal?
The site you provided looks incomplete to me…
You should ask for a refund.
In Canada, Ontario particularly.

If a website designer design client’s web site. What software can client use easier to edit their web site’s content?
Client pays the web designer once and the client would like to change their information on their web site. Client do not want to pay again to web designer. Client is looking for a software that is easy use to edit it without design.
Client should install , microsoft share point and there are many more Free Solutions available which allows Client to edit the content. Just install those kind of solution at clients place.
Do you pay a Web Designer up front for a Web Site or after?
The designer should, if they want to be fair, ask for half or a third, or whatever percentage that makes sense for the project. What makes sense to me is that if a designer sets up milestones during the project timeline (say 3 of them), logically they should bill three times, once for each milestone completion. Or there may not be milestones set up, just a midway point instead. It depends on the person. But no, it’s not good business for them to ask for all up front.
Just to further this, the reason why a designer/developer should ask for some payment at first is so that they don’t get burned by a flaky client. I’ve been burned before where I do a lot of upfront work (without getting paid), then the client backs out.
i have got a website that uses PHP, i ned to upload it on to a server, i dont want to use freewebbs.
what other ones are there?
For free web hosting, I would recommend going with http://www.weebly.com. They are pretty easy to use in creating web pages. But I would recommend using http://www.zymic.com/ if you are going to need it for a php site. I am pretty certain that they have options for free hosting that supports php.
You promote it locally first. If you can pull in business from the wider net, great, but nothing comes close to a face-to-face consultation when it comes to starting and building relationships and communication.
Community colleges produce a few dozen graphic designers per term, so there is a lot of competition out there. Over time, you might be able to specialize in logos, but when you’re starting out you might find it too limiting when you haven’t really established yourself yet.
Get your site up and then hit the streets to promote yourself in person to local businesses who don’t have an on-site graphic designer, and to other graphic designers who might want to farm some work out if they’re getting overwhelmed. Print shops are going to be an asset for you as well, since your clients will probably expect you to be able to have your creations put on paper.
I would like the name of this web site designers such as hotmiamistyles.com, greatglam.com and amiclubwear.com please thanks =]
Unfortunately if the designer doesn’t leave his/her name on the site or in the code then its hard to really figure it out. Try running search on it and see if it shows in a web designers portfolio.
