I need help finding a designer for ArtCat. I'm planning to bring everything under one roof -- web hosting, calendar (ArtCal), and possibly an artist-driven zine. I need help with branding, information architecture and design.
You can tell from what exists now, including bloggy, that I'm a minimalist. I don't expect it to be free. I'm willing to pay for something I really like, but I've had trouble finding someone whose aesthetic matches mine, and has awesome CSS skills.
I would prefer someone in NYC, but if I found someone good that could do this all via phone and internet, that's a possibility.
I've been looking for a good CSS person as well and think I may have found her in Melissa Connolly. You can check out her site at http://www.m2webstudios.com/
Let me know how it works out.
