I need some advice for my site design

Currently my site is not using CSS. The thing I want to do with it
is, I think, it needs a face lift, otherwise, it may look boring,
target audience seems very much into visual stuff, flushy, fluffy or
the site may need to look some sort of 'professional' touch.

Options for its face lift?:
-- hire some graphics designer to touch it up;
-- playing with CSS and use that to dress it up a bit;
-- find some creative student do it at little cost
-- ?

Also, keep in mind I want the site/app to load FAST like now.

Your thought?

Thks.

Then you need a professional to touch it up.

And I presume you mean *your* target market.

Good idea if

1. The designer is also expert at HTML/CSS. Not many seem to be.
2. Or, you can take the graphics design and do the HTML/CSS yourself

-- playing with CSS and use that to dress it up a bit;
Bad idea. CSS is useful *after* you have a site design.

-- find some creative student do it at little cost
Might work. Depends on the student. Same considerations as above only

cheaper.

Probably I did not get my point cross well, I meant, some sort of

design first then CSS.

What might a good source to reach this type of students?

Thanks.
