I am looking for references. I have been learning how to build websites over the past year and although I have learned a lot and can rival small local designers I know darn well what we are looking for is way over my head. We have a photography printing and framing company and need help with our website. We need a full service web design company that is legitimate, and provides the highest of quality technical and design elements. What we aim to do with our company online marketplace is innovative and extremely unique. We fully expect and understand costs that come with these expectations but cannot seem to find anyone we are truly confident with. Google searches are very hard to find the higher quality design companies. A key component we absolutely need is scalability to the site in its entirety. If you have any serious references, they will be much appreciated.
I forgot to include a few items, first, the boss wants a working site (ie. orders can be made) by feb 15th. Second, there will need to be integration with the ROES photo system (users can upload photos, edit them, ect). I know enough about what is required to know that this is a team job, not an individual (over 6 month job for an individual). This site is more along the lines of a snapfish, shutterly, clark photo, ect.
