Seeking Short to Long Term Graphic/Web Designer

We have several web design projects that need to be done during the next few weeks, and depending on how those go there may be an opportunity for a longer term placement with us.

These require full time work, 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. I am NOT looking for someone part time.

The first project is the design of a website in the same niche as http://www.stockyards.com/ and http://www.omahasteaks.com but focusing on all natural cattle. So we need something that can compete with these esthetically. This will be a B2C site and one of the main things we are looking for is to have the products really pop out of the screen and make the user’s mouth water.

PSD/JPEG conversion to HTML would be a nice add on, but is not needed – we are mainly looking for the PSD files based on Client comments. Please note that you will be doing this work as a full time independent contractor and will be responsible to have your own hardware and software.

Additional skills needed:
- Good English to avoid/fix typos in the design
- Photoshop (obviously)
- Attention to detail


So if you are interested please respond with the following information:
1. Will you be willing to take a design test to showcase your ability? I don’t think this test will take more than a few hours.
2. What monthly rate are you looking for?
3. When can you start?
4. A few examples of previous designs you have done, ideally around the same quality or higher as the 2 examples I mentioned.
5. Your resume and contact info (including Skype)
6. If you have additional skills that you think may help in the long run of running and marketing a website let me know as well. Things like simple video production, Flash, usability, any kind of SEO, HTML, social media etc…

Feel free to contact me if you need more info.
