Ok, I come here with a plea for help from someone who actually has a sense of "good design", as it takes me forever to come up with anything that looks halfway appealing.

This is for a non profit project, just a way of promoting something our church does this time of year for several years now.

We give out "Baskets of Love" (around 3000 each year) at Christmas time to people who sign up for them in our general area (Akron, Ohio). They contain a variety of food items. About half of them are personally hand delivered to the recipient (the others come to a church service to pick them up).

Well this year for the flyers and such, I went ahead and bought AkronBasketsOfLove.org (and .com). We have a ton of great pics from last year, and would like to just have a basic "brochure" type site up.

I'd love to have online donations, but that is for next year...

Anyhow, if someone would like to be charitable and help me with jsut a basic design that looks halfway decent. I did check a few free template sites, didn't find anything that seemed to fit.

The only thing I have to offer for your help is a link off of the site to your site, and if you have a need for it, help with some PHP. (which is what I mainly do).

I will try tomorrow to post the flyer from this year and last year to give an idea what it is about. Although I registered it under the church's name, this is something I am taking on on my own to give them to help promote the activity.

So far I plan to mainly give a history, tell where they can donate, and give an account of what items have been collected so far, and the times for signup, etc.

I thank you in advance for any help, even if it is just a URL to a free template that you think might be fitting. BTW, I mainly do page layout in Dreameaver, prefer a simple page.

I could try to look around. Do you have some sort of banner already made, or would that need to be included? If you do, I would need to know the size so I could see if it would fit in. Wink

Hi, and thank you to all who have replied here and PM'd me. I am very greatful for the help. Sorry I didn't get back to anyone this weeked, was a mad rush trying to get a new server installed at work (30 megs free on old one now). When I get off work tonight I will try to get the copies of current and past fliers, as well as photos online and contact people directly on this.

Again thank you for your help!
