We got done building our site but it has developer looks.
How to find a cheap way of improving the look and feel? What sites/designers have you guys looked at to improve the look. I know many people on hacker news suggest hire a professional, but where to hire a cheap and reliable professional?
Maybe have a look at <a href="http://siteinspire.com/showcase" rel="nofollow">http://siteinspire.com/showcase</a>
I found this site to have a good collection of well designed sites.<p>The main area to work on is typography and navigation layout.
If you have nice typography and an easy to use navigation, you'll be 90% of the way there.<p>Another tip is to never use #000 for your text. Try using a dark grey.<p>Two sites I like the design of are: <a href="http://www.thrivesolo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thrivesolo.com/</a> and <a href="http://www.bestmadeco.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestmadeco.com/</a>
Can you define developer looks? Might help to see the site.<p>I'm not a designer by heart, but I just look at other sites in the same market for inspiration. Most of the sites I design come out looking pretty good. It's all about prioritizing.
