I've got a couple of web projects that I am looking to have made - ones pretty simple, ones a little more complex - the simple one updates itself via social media streaming, the other I need to have some sort of easy article update (probably via Wordpress)
I don't mind if wordpress templates/themes are used as long as colours fit my branding accordingly
I don't have a huge budget, so would be good for a more junior/hobbyist - if anyone knows of anyone that might be able to help, please let me know and I will send them more information!
not to hijack a thread, but if anyone's interested they can learn code for free at codecademy.com. I've started learning javascript, although pretty tough it's quite rewarding. Making me wish i worked harder and paid more attention for my GCSE maths!
You can learn CSS and HTML if you wanna put together a website for a hobby, basic HTML is quite easy.
There's a massive difference between a Web Designer and a Web Developer, it's rare that you can be an expert in both, so be clear on what you need. It's a little like expecting a goal keeper to be able to play up front as well.
If it's a big project you're better off getting one person who really knows web and getting them run the project and outsource the Design / Dev.
My advice would be to always think about the user / customer and what they actually need rather that what you think they might like, keep it simple.
Like everything you get what you pay for, but larger web agencies are a complete rip off so it's finding the right balance.
I've been in this industry since 1999 and run my own agency.

do you have a link and what would be a rough idea of what it would cost?

If you're looking for a DIY type website, then I'm not the best person to ask. If you ask around friends there's usually someone who can build a quick site.

For a very professional service, extremely competitive and ability to prove a bespoke service, I strongly recommend W3 Applications in Essex. They created a website from scratch based on some vague ideas that I put forward with a mate for a new joint venture. The result is perfect.

If you want details let me know. It's only paid work, not gratis.
Not quite in the game anymore but can put you in touch with my designer and then a developer to put it all together?
Like I say, he's done work for a couple of people on here, who both told me they were very pleased.
