I've been noticing this as well. I have a couple of friends who do design work now and I am CONSTANTLY sending work their way.

I know some designers get frustrated because the constantly see the "We just need a designer" posts out there now. It's kind of like when we see someone say "Oh yeah, we've got everything we need; now we just gotta get a coder to slap it together."

I couldn't agree more. However, I'm certainly not saying "We just need a designer"-- I'm saying "HOLY CRAP WE NEED A DESIGNER".

I absolutely respect web design and realize that it's a big deal which is why I'd love to involve someone with that particular talent in my startup and do so in a significant way.

Oh, I'm sorry; I wasn't insinuating that you were guilty of this at all. I was just making the point that I know that quite a few designers don't really freelance any more because they're tired of being devalued that way.
