Any help finding a good designer/programmer for hire?

I am looking to hire someone to help with some web design, and could realllly benefit from some suggestions.

The basic layout; graphics, links, positioning of things, domain registry, is all under control. I have gained general knowledge on how to design using dream weaver 8, but am at a loss with how to design some of the specifics.

A lot of it is…well I guess you might call it fairly technical programming…just creating forums with a decent amount of guidelines, and implementing a membership system.

Like anyone else, I’m hoping to not have to spend an absurd amount of cash, but this site really means a lot to me and others, so the money is available.

Just if anyone knows any designers/programmers that you prefer or know personally, or can give me any kind of recommendations for any reasons, it would be greatly appreciated.
If any more specifics on what I’m looking for are needed to make an accurate response, say the word and I’ll siren it off to you with the greatest of detail in a flash.
Thanks and take care
