Where to find a web developer / designer?

Media Company

Hi Guys

i had sourced a really good designer to do an online store for me. Thats gone belly up and i'm having trouble finding anyone capable enough of pulling off a good design with a back end content managment system. I have two or three stores in the pipeline but dont know where to look. I dont want to go to a big web design company, i always prefer to work with someone on the ground level.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

adverts.ie? Please note that we do not allow solicitations here (not a poke at the OP, just a warning against those coming in with "PM sent" or similar).

Media Company, you'd probably get a better response at the Irish Webmaster Forum Marketplaceor from the CI Jobs Desk and within their forum and also from Freelance Ireland.

You mentioned that you are using a CMS..Have you considered checking out that CMS's forum in an attempt to seek out an Irish based developer? There shouldn't be much of a problem finding an Irish Dev on the more popular open-source CMSs (Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, etc..)

List of web designers

Try adverts.ie - most people find who they are looking for by posting an advert on that site. I recommend looking over a company/freelancer portfolio and testimonials before you choose as there are a lot of people out there who claim to offer professional webdesign and development services but in reality - they cant.

Hope that helps

I have to agree - there are some dodgy designers out there that seem to think they are professional.

Any particular reason why you can't say the company name you work for?

To the original poster - post up your request in the Business Forum on creativeireland.com, there's a few good people there.

If I was a student I'd probably look there... however I'm not looking to develop websites for people for a pack of crisps and the promise of a ball of string so I don't check there maybe once every 2 or 3 months

I see Sourceforge.net has a new marketplace for getting software help. You might try there.
