A good designer will capture the 'feel' of your company so that it is instantly recognizable as soon as someone logs on to the site.

Hi balinor, for someone who does custom designs, could you tell me if $1,000 would get the job done or is this amount out of the ballpark? Since I do not have a glue at this point to what something like this would cost me, then I need for those in the know to give me some ideas what it would cost me.

I don't want to get into negotiations with someone to only find out that it is going to be something that I totally cannot swing right now.

Best Regards,
Don
