yo I know this is not the right place for this topic but I forgot where this goes plus I want people to see this cause it's rearry important ^____^

Aight so the time for me to get a portfolio site for my photography is dawning upon me. I was gonna design it myself but I dunno, I have a lot to do.

So I'm looking for somebody who can do a hecka baller site design for a brotha. I found one person recommended through a friend of mine, but I'm not sure if I wanna hire him. He's quoting me about $280-$330; here's some of his work

kinda arstier:

aight so I'm not too sure how well his skills will translate to a more arsty design/fashion photography/-esque site

I'm looking towards a site like David LaChapelle's:
LaChapelle Studio

no flash, baller typography, easy to find things

I think I'd also want hovers and ish, but you gotta be good at fitting lot of photos without making it look cluttered

I know you ninjas is some good designers, so I'm wondering if anybody here can top him and his quoted price. Yeah, the ninja who does my design and helps me with my website management is gonna GET MONEY, GET PAID.

he's through a friend of mine though, so he has that advantage of testimony, he's also helping me out with my marketing, so you gotta be that dude/dudette

my photos:
xanga

I'll also probably take you more seriously and talk more appropriate for a serious job and ish don't worry this is serious business

Feel free to post up design suggestions too, 'cause it's hard for me to find portfolios that aren't flash or sidescrollers. oh and advise on what I should do with my website would be much appreciated

Wow, after looking, I just realized how wack this post looks.

^yah, i was gonna link to your portfolio as another example lol.

the sizes aren't limited to the ones shown; it's entirely dependent on what you would like. the system is what matters (the flash-like viewing of the bigger photo). if anything, you could just link to the actual .jpg file which would open on a different window if you don't like the lightbox.
