Experience
Have you considered the option of having your site development work done remotely in Australia by people such as myself? Cost wise it may be a viable option. My online CV can be viewed at http://www.davidmcdonald.org/portfolio.asp More about me: Currently I am the Lead Web Designer for the BHP-Billiton merger integration site. I am a web designer developer with 6 years plus experience in HTML, dHTML, Javascript, CSS both coding by hand and using industry standard software such as Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Photoshop etc. I regularly take on short term contract work and have worked with such companies as BHP Billiton, Showads Interactive, GeneCRC and Spin Media to name a few. As I am a full time freelancer, I can manage my time and dedicate as much time as is needed to each project.
