    I searched the forum for this answer but did not come up with anything, sorry if it is redundant.

    If I go the route of having a graphic designer design my WP theme, then have it coded, am I asking trouble or is this fairly easy and straightforward? Dealing with 2.8 compatibility issues, and cross browser functionality, etc makes me think that I should probably stick with a pre-coded theme. However, I am in a super narrow niche and would really like to get a custom design by a graphic designer.

  • .. then dont go to a graphic designer.

    the long of it is that wordpress is a cash cow, and everyone wants a piece. especially so-called designers, that DONT know a lick of PHP, most of them cant even install wordpress, much less write a functioning theme for it, and goid forbid – you ever need help with something after they’re supposedly done.

    need proof of this? look at the craigslist ads by these same types of “designers” that are looking for REAL developers to outsource their work to. (at a cheaper rate than ANY php coder is worth, I might add).

    heres some tips:

    look at their portfolio – are there PHP based sites included in it? Any database driven sites? Do the live sites validate?

    Thanks, that’s the kind of feedback I was looking for.
