...or something like that.

You can, if you want, go to the Offical Web Design site that I co-run, found at http://www.flyingparty.com, and which I really really recommend because I am broke and need the money... or you can, thanks to the miracle of Diaryland, Jaxian Love, and other such things, just get a kickass diaryland design without the hassles.

So here's the rules:

If you want a 100% custom site design, including 100% original graphics, tailored exclusively and exactingly to your tastes and needs... it's gonna cost ya. I don't have the patience or time to do free graphics work any more, much as I regret it. *pouts* Image hosting ain't cheap, neither is running diaryland, so you and I together are going to support Andrew.

If you want 100% original graphics and you want ME to host them (in other words, you don't have to worry about where to keep them or any of that), you get to buy me gold membership for a year. This guarantees you that I'll host your graphics (the graphics I create for you) for... well, as long as you want me to.

If you don't want me to host, or don't care if someone else has graphics like yours, then it's $18 (6 month gold membership) and your choice of either original graphics that YOU host, or I host 'em but someone else might eventually have the same graphics as you do.

If you want to host them AND you don't care if someone else has the same graphics... ehh. Either a 3-month gold membership, or a gift certificate for $5-10 from Amazon.com or Powell's books, or something in that price range... and at that point, it's just paying for the time I spend designing your site.

If you have seen a design I've done for someone else (the list follows in a moment) and want that exact design, AND are willing to host the images... just email me. If it's a design that I don't care if you use, I'll send you the HTML to copy-and-paste, and then it's yours, free of charge.

The people I've done pretties for here on diaryland:

Little Kajira - Elru - Selaith - Thomas - Nreshan - Hida - Kadin Jasan Raven - Astrophil - Talia - The Wench - currently passworded, if you are interested in the graphics contact me and I might be able to show you a demo page. - Briar Heartsinger - Me

I've done several different versions of my page, and have a few mockup graphic sets sitting around. If you want demos or a good look at what I can do, go ahead and either sign the guestbook or email me ([email protected] or [email protected]).

Yes, I require a linkback. No, it won't be obtrusive unless you want it to be.

Just to refresh your memory...

Original graphics PLUS I host all graphics PLUS a link button or banner designed just for you = $30/one year Gold membership at diaryland.

Original graphics OR I host all graphics = $18/six months Gold membership at diaryland.

Shared graphics (still original work but other people might end up using the same set), u-host = $10/three months Gold membership at diaryland/a good paperback book or equiv gift certificate from amazon.com
