Hi Brian,
Just wanted to know if your hiring? I’m a stay at home mom, photographer, graphic designer, writer and proof-reader. If I can help you, you would be helping me. Either way, if you could e-mail me back with a reply, I would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hi Brian, I wanted to use your contact, but I guess I can just leave a comment. I’m one of many who loves your themes. I just modified your 3-column silhouette theme and wanted to say thanks and feel free to take a look. It’s really “tight” and functional (like all of yours)! Thanks and God bless you in 2009!

Congratulations Brian! I have only just started using WordPress last year, quickly found Revolution and have already uesd it for two blogs. I have known about WP for a while but had been using a custom built CMS till now… Wow! I’ve abandoned the custom CMS and now a WP junky/loyal now! I hoep toi have my own custom themes someday.

Any chance of the StudioPress theme made available?

I wish you the best my brutha!
I look forward to many great things from StudioPress!

@David – These rates actually quite reasonable.

Good luck Brian – when you start to think about staff you’re moving into a harder but potentially more rewarding business world. It’ll be difficult! We’ve come about it from the other direction – doing custom only WordPress work before filtering that down into Spectacu.la.

The only advice I’d give is to start by subcontracting work to trusted and experienced professionals before taking on new staff. I’ve run the gamut of trying to take on trainees and whilst they’re great and it’s a joy to watch them develop, they’re also very time-expensive even if their hourly rate is low. A contractor, on the other hand, needs little of your time and can be productive almost immediately. A junior member of staff to look after admin, enquiries and so on could be very handy, however, if you want to get any good coding time to yourself!

Again, good luck with your venture!

Exciting news, Brian. I like the site design too – very professional and attractive. Every best wish to you in the new venture.

I hardly think that $60 for a theme is big bucks. If you want to define big bucks, go to a design studio and see what their rates are for a custom web design.
