Hi, we are an online marketing company in Colorado and we are looking for a web designer to join our team. We are a group of 9 entrepreneurs and we are starting new ventures all the time.

We are about to launch an adventure travel company that will offer extreme travel packages to South America. We need a web designer who's willing to work in exchange for 5% of equity in the company.

You don't need to work from our offices. You can just work from your place. You do need to understand that you won't be getting a salary but a percentage of the profits, which in my opinion is way more exciting (and profitable) but might freak some people out.

You would need to put about 10 hours a week into this project, but if you can spend more than that, we will move faster and get more money coming in.

Our profit projection is $40,000/month and we should achieve that in 6-9 months. That's conservative, as projections should always be.

You'd need to follow the HTML and CSS standards (no table layouts, no frames, etc.) This is a website we really like, so you have an idea of what style we are looking for: http://www.latitudetours.com/pages/la-about-tours

If you are interested, please PM me with a link to your portfolio. I'd be happy to answer all your questions.

Zeke

Half of business is convincing people to either give you money or time. These guys are coming here looking for time, they must be going somewhere else for the money!

You can only choose one:
  • A great designer/developer will always want money, and usually a portion of it up front
  • A designer/developer who works for a share of the profit is never a great designer/developer

Behind every great business is a great website and vice versa! Unfortunately neither of those come for free. Nor do they come if you offer equity.

Like Marc said above you will not get a quality web design for free, nor will you progress your business with a lacklustre website.

My advice to you is to invest in a designer rather than offering them a return on investing their time. In my opinion the only person that can put a price on a designers time is a designer themselves.
