vBulletin Custom Skin Recommendations?

[Michael]

I've been looking for a vBulletin Skin Designer/Coder, I am willing to drop $200-$300 for the work done. Anyone have any recommendations? I've posted at vBulletin.org but I wasn't too impressed with the portfolios of the people which replied.

Thanks.

Don't.. believe me don't, just buy a professionally designed skin instead, cheaper, example:

If you pay that amount of money for a skin, after 2 days that skin can be ripped (I know that for a fact, just faced that situation), and all the money you paid will be gone... wasted.

mmm yeah, agree on that one.
Unless you don't run a warez forum, stick with free skins
Most you should do is get a nicely done up banner on a decent looking (free/cheap) skin. You'd be amazed at how much a sick banner does to an entire skin. Most skins are pretty ugly, but their banner makes it look top notch



Have u got a vbulletin license? I'm sure there are tonnes of awesome skin designers over at vbulletin.org

Couple I got from Google:

Unsure of what their quality is though
