I actually worked on this exact idea with a designer friend but called it quits after we got too busy with client work. You've executed this brilliantly! I was a bit surprised that you are showcasing designers and linking to their sites, allowing potential customers to contact them directly. This is something we struggled with. I think you nailed it though. There is huge value in posting to the network and finding out who is interested and available to take on the project. I would love to see a clone of this for developers as well, so I could actually use it. :)
