I am starting a website, and I want it to be a cooperative effort of talented web designers; how do I find 'em

The website will be a comprehensive, one-stop resource for small to medium sized US companies wishing to reach out to world /global markets.Our site will serve as a virtual "export division" for our clients, and we will create and manage a dedicated export website for each of our clients for this purpose. We will be able to refer a great deal of business to the designers, SEOs, webmasters, artists, fulfillment services, e-commerce pros, hosting organizations and other web and e-commerce service provides due to our captive relationship with a growing number of clients. In effect, our website will be a profitable, real-time showcasing mechanism for creative, competent, aggressive web professionals who participate in the creation and operation of our "master" website. I am certainly amenable to using a number of professionals as part of a cooperative development team. This website, although rather complex, will be a dazzler, as it must. I seek true artists, visionaries and technologists!

You could post this as a project on some of the online sites such as elance.com, guru.com, ifreelance.com or even craigslist.org. These are great resources for finding web designers, programmers etc.

That would be cool, since I'm creative and artsy, but I am not a webdesigner. Wish I was.

Here use this site it works great for finding talent

Look under rocks. We web designers typically flock to environments without direct sunlight. Oh, and bring caffeine... that's really the only way to pacify us. Or Pocky. A lot of us really dig Pocky.


Seriously - if you have the capital I would look into a recruitment company. They've already got all the requirements and resumes on hand; no need to do all the dirty work yourselves if you don't have to. Be aware that recruitment companies are the real deal, if you're not incorporated and able to pay them up front they're not even going to thank you for trying as you're escorted from the building.

If you don't have the capital... well... get used to sorting through piles and piles of crappy websites. Your only real option is to post 'web designers needed' ads in every available niche and then wade through the volumes of responses for the occasional gem.

Good luck!

First, for me, you must be an American(in America). I don't work with foreigners. Too hard to deal with because I'm not calling international and I like talking on the phone with the people I work with, and there is no jurisdiction if they scam me. Really, I'd rather work in person, but it's hard to find that without moving.

Then, I must know what your skills are and what is the first project you would like to undertake?

And finally, I will mention that I'm working on a web-based subscription game and looking for such a conglomeration of talent and partnership.
