I understand. But I'm pushing the limits by posting it in this section anyway and didn't want to go any further

I think this is legit - I'm sure if you said "where can I find web designers" you would get a TON of "hey I send you a PM" or "my friend does web design - his/her email is" etc....

So let me get this straight, you want to take other people's designs and then code them? Usually, web designers are good at BOTH graphical design and coding, it's rare for, say, a person to buy a template or buy the service to design the website but just have the graphical interface and not the coding for it... so unless you start a business with someone close, I don't know if what you're anticipating is possible, because it means you have to work really closely with the graphical designer to be able to know how they want their design to be coded, etc.

I've worked with graphic designers to get the look of the page and then with coders (php etc) to make it function.
wheel - If you want to find cheap designers, you might want to check community colleges, high schools in your area. There are places where you can describe your project and have people bid on it. These usually involve a bit of financial risk as you pay 50% or more upfront.
Another risk is if the client wants changes, you have to have a pretty good relationship with the designer to help make those changes. Or - get a CMS so that the bulk of the changes are not a big deal.

Rentacoder is an option.

Rentacoder is an option...except I want to work with one individual on an ongoing basis. I've been dealing with some of my customers for over 7 years and am going to be around for a while longer, I don't want my product offerings to depend on the variances of a today's graphic artist. i'd rather find one person that can whip out designs the odd time I need them, and who'll be around next year as well. So I guess that really makes rentacoder not an option.
John, in terms of the code, what I'm looking for is the production of HTML that I can tweak on my own. I'm not just reselling someone else's design, I need to add search engine optimization, speed improvements, and a variety of industry specific calculators and tools that I offer. So there's still work to be done after the design is completed. Some designers produce horrible unuseable HTML, other's product clean crisp HTML. I suspect it depends on their software.

ALL Softwares do cluttering job with coding.
Dreamweaver (considered best) does fairly good job - but i usually end up doing lot of coding myself - so it will look pretty / indented / modular etc.
From my exeprience - the designer is ALWAYS different than developer. You seems to be looking for someone who does both. For someone able to do both and GOOD at both tasks at the same time , will charge fairly decent amount. Usually its best to keep these task seperate jobs for different people - its like ART vs Science
Anyway, I have a guy who outsources these things and hence can offer better rate / more value than most people here. Let me know if you want his contact information. Thanx

I don't want someone that knows both. I already work with the best developer I've ever seen in twenty years and I'm no slouch technically. The reason I need reasonable HTML is because I need to work with it when they're done, inserting calculators and tools and stuff that parse the pages in certain spots, so on. I'm not looking for hand coding. I probably shouldn't have even mentioned this aspect of it since I'm looking for design work, not function. I expect dreamweaver and similiar pump out perfectly fine code these days.

Hey, no problems ... another angle to use RentACoder for is exactly what you are looking for. Use it to find somebody "local" who can enter into a longer term type of agreement, you should be able to verify his 'history" at rentacoder AND you could always move onto somebody else if his quality isn't good enough or starts to slide ... just another avenue to try.

You may try a company I used to develop my website, http://www.globaldigitalservices.com. Ask to speak to Marco Neri. I'm sure they can provide you with a programmer that you can use for your project OR use GetAFreelancer.com. It's a bit riskier since you are dealing with a unknown parties.
They developed my website from scratch far below the normal rates in North America, http://www.asiallery.com.
