After more than 4 years with the same design the Component Factory website is ready for a facelift. So I am calling out to my blog readers to see if any are web designers or know someone who is.
Here is a list of websites of my competition.
ComponentOne
DevExpress
Infragistics
You should feel you can create graphics of the same standard as the competition using the fairly detailed spec that I will provide. The actual page content is of course provided by myself when the actual site pages are built out. Your main skill should be graphic design with some additional knowledge of HTML/CSS creation.
And how much will I pay? I think $2000 (USD) to complete the initial design would be about right. That equates to $40 an hour for 50 hours of work. I think that would definitely cover all the time needed as the initial design is just a single master page. I will then pay for additional pages to be built that vary from the master page. These would have extra graphics or special elements on the page and so need extra design work.
This project would suit a professional that wants to make some extra pocket money on a side project or maybe a freelancer that has some spare hours in the schedule. Just email me directly using the following address to put yourself forward.

While I understand the urge for a facelift, of the four sites (yours + three competitors) I find the Component Factory site to be the least cluttered and easiest to find what I’m looking for. I’m sure you’ve already gotten plenty of responses, so I won’t offer my services, but I wish you luck.
(FWIW, I’ve always like the smokestack animation. I think it may be the single best use — without being annoying — of Flash on a website I’ve ever come across. Kudos.)
