I do have a decent knowledge of CSS though. I would love to see what kind of themes you can make with all the experience you have. I am curious did you make the theme for zigpress? I would love to get my hands on it. It's amazing. Thanks for all your quality articles. As a web designer I don’t understand all the technicalities of making plugins or wordpress themes.

I'm using a few sites now that were free Wordpress themes and the footers are filled with back linking information as a courtesy you are not supposed to mess with and I'm sure as it stated 1300 downloads that that works wonders for SEO.

I find value in some of the free wordpress themes, I have used some of them on my blogs. There are some really talented developers and designers out there and I would use both the free and paid versions of their work.

It saves me more time and money since if I pay for 10 hours I might spend 50 hours by doing it myself I´m a designer (and perhaps SEO) and I do some coding but I loke to hire a freelancer to do that.

By that I mean I choose a template and you just put certain things in it hardcoded and zip it back to me. I would want 3 adsense positions and one adsense menu type link unit. I would also want a few links in the blogroll and about 5 plugins. I think it would be 1 -2 hours work tops. To explain better all I want to make is a base blog from which to install many blogs with different content but the same basic layout. You can reach me at - sales@propertynow.com.au . If you can't do it do you suggest rentacoder or probably better yet a wordpress forum? Many thanks Andrew Australia Andy, since you aren’t much into the design side of things, how much would you charge to create a foundation blog for me?

This also holds true for templates or themes. Fact is, I would pay money for good work and continue visiting any site providing quality templates and plug-ins...much of the free stuff is just plain junk!

But it also depends on finding someone with the right skills and the right empathy with the project, and of course enough time available. Finding such a person in Malta (I like to discuss projects face-to-face) can be tricky.
