I went to university in Wales and my ex-husband was Welsh if that's any help....

I'd be totally sunk without Topstyle - use it daily (think quite a few ddn'ers do ). Have a look at programmers notepad

Being new to the forum, I'm coming to this with fresh eyes so here's my tuppence worth: 1. The palette isn't tight enough - too many colours imo and I find the colour associations confusing e.g. #2FB55E being used for top nav and also Web Marketing image link, and #E71D30 being the same for Clients header and Web Design image link. Maybe brand each subsection with its own unique colour? 2. Contrast (text) isn't strong enough throughout. 3. Would feel lighter with more padding throughout. 4. I'm not really getting the purpose of top right box? It seems bolted on to fill a space... 5. Client screenshots should be far more prominent - dare I say above the fold? 6. Needs some kind of defined footer. 7. Overall shape of the design is good, lots of potential. fluence

Staged payments, and building solid client relationships throughout the lifecycle of the project usually keeps me fairly well protected from payment problems.

I agree with those who say you'd really have to see the design before being able to give any kind of realistic quote. That said, in the past (for my sins) I have skinned quite a few oscommerce stores and for a fairly basic skin (eg. like this) I'd start talking at around the £450 mark. fluence

Thankyou all for the welcome.

There are some nice WP themes here and here fluence

Hello all Have been lurking around for a few days now and very much like what I see, so.... can I play? Its good to find an online community that appears to have a balanced mix of newbies and seasoned pro's - especially one that's UK based. Me? I'm 31, based in Wiltshire, and a very happy fulltime freelance designer. Anything else you want to know feel free to ask - I'm pretty much an open book Looking forward to getting stuck in... fluence
