Web Designers???

Thanks all for your input on the "question of ownership"
post a few days ago.

Sadly, the situation hasn't really improved so I am still
looking to possibly switch to someone more "people friendly".
It's a pretty sure bet that I will have to let her go OR
even that she herself might quit on me. She admitted to me
that she hates working on my site and that I stunt her
creativity! The way she acts you would think I wanted to
ruin a priceless work of art.

Her attitude is being reflected in her work and I seem to
be waiting for days for the simplest updates, and she has
suddenly cut me off as far as communication.

I really am not difficult to work for, am always open to
suggestions and reason (or the site would look a lot different)

So I thought I would put the word out here that I am looking
for recommendations. Went researching some today and had contact
with one company, who is now bothering me endlessly on the phone.
I made it clear that I want someone who can talk English that I
can understand, but no longer even wish to have anything to do
with them. (if they can't understand that I want an english
speaking rep, they certainly won't understand other requests)

If anyone is a web designer, or knows of one they would recommend
please let me know! (off or on this forum) My most important
priority is 1. Good english 2. Can take direction 3. A way to
contact them offline if necessary 4. 24 hour response

While I am at it, is it a web DESIGNER I want or a CODE INSERTER
that I want? Is there a difference?
I know what I want, how I want it to look, but don't
know diddly about HTML. I will be losing money trying to learn
now, as it would take away time from my business and I am going
to be busy straight through January.

I'm also looking to do a website for my daughter and I don't
want to get her involved with the web designer I have now. So this
is a double whammy looking for someone.

Any suggestions??
