Design Partnership - Strategic alliances with web designers.
Has anybody ever formed a partnership with a web designer?
I own an Internet Promotions and Telecommunications distributorship business. Part of my website is a Directory/Search engine {indexfinger} that is linked to a Forum {Bigtalker} I am not very good at designing webpages and would like to form a partnership with a web designer who is willing to work with me in exchange for promotional consideration. The designer will build the main category templates (has to be Front Page 98) and make some changes/updates to it from time to time. The work consists of about 1 template that will vary only in the contents but follow the same theme throughout.
What do I mean by promotional consideration? (Loosely....)
1. Designers logo/button (This site designed by) will be displayed in all the site's pages.
2. As a service I offer Free webspace to visitors. Some of them need assistance designing simple 3-5 page sites to be included in the directory. All visitors will be referred to the designer for assistance with their sites. Fee sharing negotiable.
Am I being reasonable here? If not what is reasonable?

I think you would get a good response to this offer, but it would eventually come down to:
- How complicated these templates are.
- How popular your sites are.
- How many of these free-webspace sites you sign up a day.
PS where is your directory?
Hope that helps,
JP
