Really?

If you want an expert, you need to at least offer a reason why they should use their valuable time and resources to design your logo and build your webpage for free!

Otherwise, I'm not sure you're going to get anyone to help you. I certainly wouldn't from this post.

I'm with Simon on this one. Just reading your note will not make most people want to help you...

No way anyone should do such a thing for free. I'm a freelancer doing design and too often am I asked to do a "for your portfolio" or reduced price job.

Here is a good way to illustrate this :)

Umar:

I checked your site, and saw some HUGE names on the list of clients (Kia, Sony, etc). Do you do work for those giants?

Thanks Umar,

but how much do you normally charge for designing a LOGO and a HOMEPAGE only?

cheers,

I personally see no reason some on should post such a request espl. when he wants to get the valuable  time and energy of good designer for free!

It sounds something like "Yeah i want someone to teach me how to ski. Of course im not paying, the honor of you meeting me should be enough!"

I wouldnt call it hate... just people that say their opinion since they dont have anything better to do

And you gotta admit that's a good and very approriate comic strip :)
