Can anyone recommend a website designer?

[Bob the slob]

Have a good idea for a small informative website, so it would be a very big job and want to get a few quotes from few different people.

We used www.go2.ie and found them good. They also host our email and optimise our site for Google etc.

www.gorilla-systems.com did mine, did great job, fast and helpful despite all my chopping and changing my mind etc

I've used suildesign a number of times and referred them to others, always been happy with them

I really enjoyed working with Jennifer at http://laughingliondesign.net/
We were also able to get help from the local enterprise board for website design - worth looking in to.

Try http://www.brightlight.ie/, seriously good and very reasonable too.

go to www.elance.com and hire a freelancer

do you homework and you will find someone for a fraction of the price for what you will pay in ireland

did mine and im really happy. shes a freelance designer and very competitive. ask her for a recent design. She doesnt use templates. get a quote first but this is a big area with lots of cowboys so make sure you have a reference or seen some work before you go ahead.

I'd be wary of Website designers that use Wordpress for there own site:

They should be able to produce a site from scratch minimum.

Might not be what your looking for but you can get a free web site including hundreds of free web designs/templates in www.freewebs.com (you design your own), very easy to do! You can spend a little to upgrade it to suit your needs and also to have your own web address.
Here are some of the features it offers for free http://www.webs.com/pages/features/
Handy if anyone is starting up a business or running a small businness.

They should be able to produce from scratch, but there's nothing wrong with Wordpress if it fits your needs and requirements. By the looks of things, Wordpress seems like a very good choice in this case because the author seems to have opted for a blog-type site.

It would be more interesting to see the client portfolio.

I would be more wary of companies using Joomla...
