I want to reiterate that I don't think we should spend any money on translating from photoshop to html, unless it's a *very* small amount. The ~$200 you've mentioned before is about the highest price where I think "well maybe it's worth it to have somebody else do this". This is a common skill, and I am personally willing to volunteer in this regard. At worst we could pay somebody later if volunteers can't get it done satisfactorily. (I don't believe a delay like that would be damaging) Unlike developing the actual design, we can easily evaluate whether us volunteers have adequately converted the photoshop to html+jekyll. We paid designers for their aesthetic sense, but with this conversion the community has all of the skills required to both execute this and evaluate this. > Note that the text of the site will all be editable afterwards, and so it is not > really important for the designer to worry about that.
