I've built a couple of great teams over the last few years, but they were attached to Blogsmith and Netscape (now Propeller) so they all work at AOL now. I don't.
As I was building the new Crowd Fusion platform and putting together the new ComicMix site, I knew I had to assemble another team of hard-working geniuses. After a depressing couple of months over the summer where I didn't think I'd ever find a stable designer again, I've finally got a decent core team and things are starting to move quickly. It doesn't even take that many people to get things moving well -- just the right people.
I still need a couple of designers, but now I've got someone who can do expert-level markup so I don't need designers who can do CSS or XHTML well -- or at all. I just need to find some designers who know their way around Illustrator and Photoshop and can focus on design instead of code.
Those should be much easier to find, right?

Oh if only you had said Freehand and Photoshop.
The problem nowadays is that designers are taught that they need those web skillz to pay the billz.

Not that you are *not* looking for developers -- you are always looking for developers. Particularly freelancers who are tired of having to hunt for new clients every month and are ready to have 20 hours a week of steady work.
