I am beginning to get *REALLY* pissed that I can’t find a GOOD, PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED web designer (or organisation) here in Perth that isn’t out to gouge.

I’m not looking for half-assed, "we’ll give it a shot" or "lemme have a go cos I’m learning php"… I want someone who can really build & design and I’m prepared to throw a decent amount of money at it.

But there only appears to be 3 type of Web Designer in Perth:

#1: Template-Based

#2: Beginners

#3: Freaks who do not return phone calls or emails – have great looking sites, but all their work looks virtually the same for every client

I seriously thought there was a big community of web designers in Perth?! Perhaps I need to go out wider?

I’ve got RFQ’s in with 2 places right now, but they’re taking forever.

Do you know of someone (or are you someone) who can:

#1: Start now (or very soon)

#2: Do quality work reasonably quickly with Documentation

#3: Do professional quality graphic design

#4: Code a *very* simple web app/database in PHP/MySQL from scratch

AAargh. Maybe I should just go hire a person full time to do it.


Big Thanks!

When I was a Manager at one of Australia’s Largest Resource Companies, I was encouraged to reward outstanding performance.

One way of doing this was small gifts.  Movie Tickets, Dinner for 2 – that kind of thing.  Twee and boring.

It would have been terrific to have had a resource where I could find all sorts of wonderful gift ideas in one place.  Not boring tangible gifts – but actual unforgettable life experiences.

That pretty much describes Big Thanks.

It lists a great many of the fun experiences you can have in Western Australia and lets you buy that experience for yourself or someone deserving.
