hello, I'm a volunteer firefighter. Recently our volunteer organization had a large amount of money stolen from us... We're looking to build a website so that we can update the community on different events and running different fund raisers. We're a non-profit organization. I'm looking for someone who's willing to make a drupal theme for our site. We're willing to link back to your site and mention you as a sponsor as well as give you our eid so that you can use it as a tax write off. Thank you please contact me if you're willing to help or would like to know more information.... I really hate asking for help like this but we could really use the help with a nice looking site for our community. We'd be willing to pay but a large amount of our funds were stolen as I mentioned above. thanks, --Ian
Really, there are a lot of pre-created themes ready for download here: http://drupal.org/project/Themes
You can see many (all?) of them in action here: http://themegarden.org/
You can have a nice looking site w/o a lot of time or any money, and many of them are easily customizable w/o a lot of effort.
If you don't want to beg, you can do a little something on your own. That is one of the beauties of using Drupal.
