Basically, i have set up a hosting site and web domain. With sample pictures i want to develop the website as a means to sell the photos. If the right designer is willing to help with the site, a profit-share basis may be available to that person. I want the site to be ready and efficient within 3 months (by which time i shall have photos from my trip to display0. Of course i can design the site myself but with the help of an experienced designer, the site would benefit from a more professional outlook. I am not expecting anyone to employ full time hours on this project as i appreciate it will not immediately prove profitable (until the site is up and running).

I'm about to embark on a sailing trip around the Med and photograph the journey as i go. I am looking for someone with experience of web design who would like to update their portfolio and help with designing a professional website (copyright specific etc) in which to sell my photograghs. If anyone is interested, please contact me

Thankyou for your advice, however, i am not looking for investors. I am purely looking for someone with the basic knowledge who's looking to expand their portfolio. I am setting up the website more for a love of photography rather than a means of income. But due to my lack of knowledge in web designing, i am finding it more difficult.

I dont find it suitable discussing what i'm willing to pay someone over an open forum. I'm sure in your profession you would agree.

I dont think people are reading the thread in the correct manner. If people are only prepared to discuss remuneration before what is ultimately involved in the project, then i can be assured not to work with such people. It is plain that money is not an issue here considering i am about to embark on a sailing trip. No mention of experience, capabilitites etc, thus far. I am hopeful those willing to discuss the matter in a fruitful way will respond as i have had interest on other forums. This is not purely a money venture, yet for the right person it could prove profitable.

Thanks pete! My thoughts exactly.

Frankly there is no point in discussing this project with those who's only concerns are money. I have recieved interest from a few members of the forum who are interested in the project more than the payment. This is a good indication of someone i will be able to WORK with, not simply pay.

May i add to this post that as a moderator you need to consider your manners. There was no problems with the first post i made, and other members agree via PM. I suggest you reconsider your position in this forum, negative comments do not help anyone, and your comments were negative to say the least. Thanks to those members who have come forward offering the support/advice without mentioning money within minutes.
 
I would also suggest if your time is so important, if you spend less time writing thousands of negative posts, you may be able to clean your house! And it goes without saying you will add to my negative feedback as you already have, but forums are for HELP

Of the mark completely, not even justifiable with a response. To those of you who have expressed an interest in the project, i shall be in contact directly. Thankyou to those people, its greatly appreciated that some can see the project for what it is meant to be.

So you want to sell your Photographs, I take it you are happy to take the money from the sale of the pictures, but not happy to pay a web designer to design the site they are sold on.
 
 
As you state money is not an issue as you are going sailing, is that not what you said above? so why can you not pay a web designer to build your site, the normal route is to enquire around several designers and get quotes in, then pay someone a fair price for their work instead of hawking for freebies on a forum, which is basically what you are doing as by your own admission you can amply afford to hire a designer. if you had faith in your project you would put your money where your mouth is.
 
You keep going on about how this project is not about money, so why sell the photos, why not just share them for free if you are unconcerned about money.
 
Really what you are doing is advertising for someone to work for you, how many job adverts have you seen that say "PAY! you might get some you might not" I would bet on none. it might be an idea to stop insulting everyones intelligence and just admit that you are trying to get something for nothing.
 
A lot of people on here do this for a job, not for a bit of a laugh.
