Hi all

We're hitting a stage in our product development where we're looking for some design work to be done (layouts, icons etc) and I was just wondering if anyone has any recommended design/ux specific sites (like elance.com for example) that they have used to get bits and pieces done??

TIA

So I'm interested to get a feel on what peoples current thinking is around authentication on a new web application and how they have handled it? There are numerous choices as I've mentioned in the title and it seems there is no real guidance on which (if any) is the most suitable for new applications?

I can the see the appeal of rolling your own auth system in terms of obviously you get to control it, however if I go across to the other side of the fence as a user, I have more and more epectation that I shouldn't have to sign up for a n other account if I have for example a hotmail or facebook account and if I site makes me then I may see that as a barrier to entry! Should we as developers of applications be supporting multiple authentication scenarios or can something like openID really be the webs single sign on?

Thoughts?
