Are there any designers on GFY that do css blog themes?

Do you realize how idiotic that sounds? Don't charge a lot of money if all you do is the graphics? That's exactly what we're charging for, we are a GRAPHIC DESIGN firm.

That's like telling an artist, "Don't charge a lot of money for a painting when all you created was the pretty picture part of it."

no, that would be like saying to an artist, "don't charge a lot of money for a painting when all you did was finish what the previous artist did"

as anyone that spends all day in blogs knows, the most difficult part of a blog theme is the css coding, the graphics can be done in a few hours...and I can show you PLENTY of blog themes that I have had done that have graphics just as good, if not better, than what you showed above, for half the price....BUT the reason why a blog theme gets pricey is because converting that theme to css is a total fucking chore, I know blog guys that can spend 2 days on getting the css perfect, which is why they cost as much as they do

now, when you take an existing theme, create new graphics for it, and then charge more for someone who does it all from scratch, well, that is laughable to anyone who knows better

but like you said, you are a graphics company, and not a "programming" company....even though you be hard pressed to find many design companies these days that weren't also proficient in css, because css is completely about design elements

I'd love to see some of your designs that are better. Please post some, I'm never afraid to commend someone on their design skills.
