Freelance Designer

[freelancer]

Hi everybody. I need freelance designer to design my web site. Do you know some reliable freelancers sites? I had bad experience with those I found myself. Any help would be appreciated!

In general I would not suggest posting your projects on young freelance sites. Choose those at least 2-3 years old. Elder sites have bigger freelancers base (both webmasters and programmers), which leads to tough competition, better service, and lower prices.

I like Scriptlance (it is online since 2001) more than others. I would say it is the best site for web project (quality/price). But it is not so good for non-web projects because freelance designers/programmers on Scriptlance are mostly web-oriented. They are doing well with server administration, html, php, perl, mysql, oscommerce, cubecart, and other popular web languages and web products. Scriptlance also has a certified member feature. Certified freelancers are usually more reliable than non-certified. This freelancers site gives you $1 signup bonus.

Additionally read article about best freelance sites. All these sites are at least two years old, and all of them are respected sites.

Stay away from scriptlance. Had some horrible experiences there. People bidding on jobs without reading the entire scope and finally WEEKS after admitting that they can't do it. Wasting my time. The scriptlance folks themselves aren't any better. Took them THREE WEEKS to process a credit card payment with countless emails and faxes back and forth. Since the job never came through (see first three sentences of this post) it took them anothr four weeks to finally refund the money in escrow. Never again.

I prefer rentacoder myself. I sometimes have to do a little searching and trial and error, but I have found some good ones there.
