Wordpress designer

[Jason Davies]

Hi folks,

This is a scouting trip, I stress, but for a project at my university we
want to run a wordpress site to be the main gateway for a conference in
July (because it's not 'owned' by a particular university). We wonder if
we should get someone in who knows Wordpress inside and out so if anyone
has any recommendations based on experience, I'd be grateful (currently
costing it so vague ideas of cost would also be helpful if anyone has
done this). Just to be clear, I may have to put this out to competitive
tender so can't guarantee anyone will get the work.

Cheers,

Jason
