Hey!
One problem with hiring freelancers is communication. You need someone who gets your needs, and will communicate clearly what they're doing to fulfill your requirements.
While there are a lot of guys who can understand the systems you're working with, many times they aren't able to articulate what they're doing, and don't understand what you need. Sometimes this is due to a language barrier, and other times, it's due to a freelancer simply bidding on every available project, regardless of whether it's a good fit for their skillset.
This leads to them being overbooked, and rushing through your work without any real attention to the details of what you need. Needless to say, this is incredibly frustrating.
Setting up a band's site, you need a few things:
An easy way to add photos and music
A calendar to display your upcoming gigs
An about page that lets your fans feel like they really know you
And multiple means of contact for potential bookers to get in touch with you.
Here's what I can do for you:
A responsive site that looks good regardless of whether someone's viewing on a computer, tablet or phone
Custom design using wordpress, so it's easy to upload new pictures and video
The Genesis framework, one of the fastest, most stable wordpress themes so you can rest assured your site is up to snuff 100% of the time.
Send me a message and we can hash out the details, or, if you decide to go with someone else, I can offer some suggestions
