Main page design ONLY (one page - no coding)

Hi there, I am looking for a designer to design the main page (one page) of the website I am creating. This is ONLY the layout design (including frames, menu bar, search bar, icons, etc) and DOES NOT involve coding, logo design, etc.. This is a job related site and I am looking for a simple but nice design. I do not want to use photos, rather simple vector images, layout design and icons. Sort of like this freelancer site. Here are a few things that I am looking for in the designer: - Must be able to “design” banners, menu bar, search bars, layout, images, etc. I DO NOT want someone who works directly off templates. If there is a template to use as a base then the designer must be able to alter the design shape, style, color, layout, etc. - Have a good source of icon designs - Designer must have a good sense of space, measurements and layout design. - All the other usuals eg. communication, attention to detail, promptness, etc. Procedure: - I will open a $10 escrow to begin. I want to see the basic layout and get a feel for the designer’s ability. - After satisfactory initial design, I will open the remaining escrow. Other notes: - The design “must” show me something at least on par with you best samples that you show me. I will not release the escrow if I feel that your design is subpar compared to your best designs. I have been burned enough and know it’s not always the same designer for the samples shown that does the work. So, I can’t emphasize the point enough. - The text is not going to be in English but I will give you temporary text just to see how the font sizing fits into the design. The designer will not be responsible for non-English text/font – only the sizing. - I will give more details about the project to designer I’m interested in. Please remember that this is just a “one” main page, design ONLY so please bid accordingly. The freelancer who completes the success design will be given preference to finish the rest of the website design. I look forward to your bid.
