Web Designer Needed

Hello Designers, We are web development company specializing in the backend devlopment (ASP, PHP, etc) of websites. We are currently looking for a talented, creative designer for a long term relationship. In order to find the best designer for our needs, I ask that you provide one sample mockup for a project we are currently working on. This project is for a Property Rental site, the client would like a website which stands apart from others in the market, if you want a list of other Rental Sites, please just ask. Please understand we are not looking for high-tech for tech's sake; Most customers are still on dial up, but that doesn't mean it can't be a very clean design, which doesn't insult the intelligence. Little touches of Flash for some motion might be nice. Look [login to view URL] as an example. Perhaps Flash transitions of some family vacation photos, etc. Please provide a sample design for this project and bid accordingly for this project. Also, provide me with your standard pricing for future projects (we have 10 - 20 per month). Designer must be available to respond to e-mail, and preference will be given to those who can chat via IMs (ICQ, MSN). Thanks in advance, I look forward to seeing your work. Thank you.
