Thats a good idea, theres a really cute tiny college nearby that I have faculty friends at. Maybe they can introduce me to someone

Oh this feels very helpful! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out. I'll be on the lookout for this. I really appreciate your advice :D

thanks for responding! Are there any specific terms to watch out for? Solid questions to ask? Ways to see if they're actually making things vs asking their AI to do it for them? We're a tiny advocacy group and we have a lot of medical smartness on the team the joke about doctors being utter shit at making the computer go brr is sadly very true in my team

It's not a bad idea but most places are either saying to make it myself in one of the 4 big web builder companies, or they tend to be big enough to ask for 4 digit quotes. There's gotta be someplace a lil indie project can find someon in the $$-$$$ bracket who wants to help a micro advocacy group out. Just looking at fiver and shit I can see a lot of AI art. Like... if I want to hire an artist I can go to Etsy, deviant art, all sorts of places both new old and micro but it seems like there isn't a legit place to ask for website peoples help (especially if you, like me, aren't sure what the difference is between web dev and web design)

thanks for your response!

its not.... I can link you to my other web posts. I've been trying to ask for help and all anyone says is to just check out one of the major brands (im not sure if I'm allowed to name them here, but they all seem to suck majorly at accessibility features like making things screen reader friendly)

what could I possibly do to prove im not a bot? serious question. Do I need to take a picture with me holding a handwritten sign like they used to do for reddit ask posts? You aren't the first one to do this shit to me and im getting tired of having my posts taken down off from other websites because I didn't ask for help "right"

also. Rude. This is part of why asking for help is sucking so much ass right now
