I came across this great site where designers and programmers can find each other. Often designers aren’t that great at programming and vice versa. That makes it tough for freelance web developers to build decent sites. They might look great, but function poorly or function great, but look horrendous. This site puts programmers in touch with people who can actually make a nice-looking design and designers in touch with the people who can put their designs into practice. You have the option of posting listings asking for a one-time or multi-job collaborator or for someone to work with on a long-term basis.
At one point earlier this year, I was considering setting up a site exactly like this. I just never got a round tuit.
This site was obviously designed by a programmer, without the help of a designer.
Here’s the site’s own description of itself:
This site was created to unite programmers and designers because rarely is a person good at both programming and designing. PMD helps programmers and designers partner up to make websites and web applications that look and work great. It also lets entrepreneurs and writers find people to work with.

UPDATE: I just read on this blog that the person who created the site is just 13 years old.
