I'm a single founder working on a startup. A classifieds site for residents of Edinburgh. Initially, it'll be for local people to buy and sell their second hand items.
I have a budget of around $1000 which I know isn't a lot. I'm also willing to do some programming work in exchange. I'm experienced in django/python, php and java.
I'm doing the development myself, but I need some help with the design. I'm looking for something clean and tidy. Light on graphics, images, gradients and shadows. High on white space, good typography and consistency. I like the idea of text-as-interface. The design I envisage is what ebay might look like if it was designed today (without any web 2.0 nonsense!). Just a clean and simple interface.
If you're interested, please send me an email on the address in my profile.
