Working with Designers

If you want to work with a freelancer, here are some options:

• Feel free to contact Alexandra: www.cgadvertising.com—she’s good, especially with static 3D.

• David Vosburg does some design, and he can also help coordinate design and work with software developers for custom functions; that is, he is good at pulling people together and helping you get everything done. See www.zagmediaarts.com.

• And you may want to check out Sky Floor. These folks do some nice work and have experience with Drupal: www.theskyfloor.com. The original reason I got in touch with them is because I was impressed with the design they did for this church website: www.churchrez.org. It’s an example of a site built on a less-expensive commercial CMS called “monk.”

• If you are a company or organization, or especially if you are a local government or library, and need a seasoned Drupal expert with deep technical experience, ask for Todd Tomlinson: www.lighthousetechnologygroup.com. Drupal can be a way for a library, local government, or company to actually save money, and reduce complexity in running and maintaining a website. Todd has overseen the development of Drupal-based websites for a number of companies, and has done some nice work for libraries and local governments. If you contact Todd, be sure to give him a hard time and ask him whether he is getting enough sleep and whether he’s going to grow sunflowers this year.

If you happen to be a designer who has done Drupal-based sites, or Google Sites for that matter, please feel free to email me at tekelsey “at” gmail.com, and I’ll gladly put your link up on the companion site at www.drupalprimer.com.
