I'm looking for a chess coach. I'm currently rated 1200 provisional and my primary goal is to become South Carolina State Champion. I know I've got a long road ahead, but I'm dedicated.

I'm a talented web designer, and I'm hoping I can find someone who'd like to trade services. I can develop an outstanding web site (for anything, doesn't have to just be a chess site) in exchange for lessons.

I'm also willing to pay - but I thought I'd offer the barter/trade just to see if that caught anyone's interest.

Or if anyone knows of someone that I can contact, that would be great, too. Thanks and I look forward to your responses.

"I'm currently rated 1200 provisional"

which is basically saying you have no idea what you are rated =/

anyways did you check out the coaches section of chess.com?
