Michael-
I think its odd that your comment discrediting my intent was removed? By You? or perhaps by the community monitors, assuming they exist...I would imagine that they do somewhere...
First of all I didn't find any humor in your comments, not because I don't have a sense of humor, but because there wasn't any in what you said. It was insulting to me and the others who take this board seriously as a resourse for professionals. I appreciate your apology, but you cannot treat this site like a dating site, we are business people looking for other business people to fill a need. Just because I didn't respond to you, or respond in a timely manner, did not mean I was not interested. We all work at a different pace...
Anyway- To amuse myself, I did take a look at your website and your work and saw the list of sites you have created... I went further and clicked on a few of them, and honestly, even if you had been on your best behavior, your work does not represent anything I would consider for my business. When I said Savy, I meant "SAVY", "PROGRESSIVE" , "INNOVATIVE" none of the sites you had used any flash, the homepages had little character and did not draw you in, functionally they looked sound, but again, they were missing graphic inovation, movement, color, texture....they were very basic and reflect what we already have now.
On a side note, I found some european web sites developed in France and Germany which blew me out of the water. Regardless, I would not consider a firm outside the states but they are doing some amazing things over there. There are many talented designers here, and I'm sue one of them will be able to deliver what I need.
After next week, I plan to contact several of you kind folks who have reached out to me, I will also put a list of criteria together to explain what I want and need so that you will know if it's something you are both interested and qualified to do.
Thanks to everyone who has reached out.
