Another great option is the design marketplace 99Designs. The premise is simple: you post the design that you want created and then lots of different designers submit design ideas to you (following your original concept). You then eliminate the designs you don’t like and rate the ones you do. You then choose the best designer and they get paid.
The main benefit of this competition format is that you will get to see dozens of great ideas for your WordPress design instead of just one or two concepts (which is typically what you get when using one designer or design company). Expect to pay around $1,000 upwards for a good WordPress design. The more you offer as a prize, the more entries you will get and the higher the standard of submissions.
