Hello everyone! You've probably seen all of my questions regarding my startup that I want to get off the ground.

Anyhow I have come to realize that my web design and marketing abilities are not my strong point, so what I am offering is an opening to one talented person who has the following qualities:

- strong design and marketing abilities - driven to succeed - past success in a startup - has equity to invest in marketing materials as I have and will dedicate all my time and resources to the continued development of the project. - smart and outgoing

to apply for 20% ownership send me your resume, examples of sites you have designed as well as any other information you think will help me with my decision.

Send All inquiries to mikecurry74 at gmail dot com.

Forgive any grammar as I am on my iPhone :) -

    Why only 20%? If its just starting, why not 50/50?

    You really can't find a web designer who can't wait until the you're making money to be paid? Hell, I'll do it- for sure. There's so much software out there to build web sites, most designers have knocked prices down to around $500 for a 30 page / 500 product e-commerce site right now. With full proper design & templating. If you can't find a deal like that in the states, contract it up here to Canada- no such thing as a border when it comes to designing web sites.
