What you think abt a business like this ? Will I get clients if I can provide web designing for cheap rates ?
Good idea to start with with DP ~members, friends etc and get yourself a good portfolio together of your work and if it cuts the mustard you'll be buried with work. Word of mouth is one of the biggest free advertising vehicles on the planet. Good luck.
Remember not to underprice your time. I have made this mistake a few times... you'll get one completed and quickly realize that the money you made probably wasn't worth the effort you put into it. Do odd-end jobs extremely cheap to build your portfolio.
If you start this service and if it includes some content Iäd like to buy a number of sites. Send Pm if you go live with this.
I would never recommend being the low cost leader, unless you are the volume leader as well. In this case, that would be impossible. You will have many challenges to face when you are the low cost leader. A few expenses: Taxes, Insurance, Liability,Time, did I mention Taxes? You can also get business if you provide a quality product at a fair market price and meet deadlines. Simple.
Please PM me if you decide to go ahead with this as it is an ideal solution for a part of the market we do not cover at the present time.
Do you have any examples of websites you design? You must show a good portfolio in order to get customers.
I don't think it's a good idea if you're looking to build a sustainable business. For DP trading, it's definitely a go-er, but otherwise I think it might cause you some problems. When it comes to securing profitable long term clients, you won't find them for $75, or even $100. In my experience lower paying clients expect more for their money and you will be swamped with modifications. A lot of client's think they own you - you'd be better taking on 2 clients a year at a higher rate than 2000 at a lower rate. After all, you'll still get the same amount of hassle - you might as well get paid for it. Of course if you're building up a portfolio, or trading exclusively on DP, then by all means go ahead. Otherwise, I'd recommend a significantly higher rate.
Hmmm is it quality work for $75. I've just hired a designer to make me a logo and 3 page design (no coding) and it is going to cost me around $2,000. I'd rather pay more, but get more.
Friends, This is only a thread for studying the market.The cost can be $75 and more. We will not only go for cheap rates ; we will ensure the quality.Without quality nothing can withstand.We make this possible by decreasing our margin.So its not a decrease in quality. Thankz
Very good point. Cheap prices can give you a swarm of clients and you may fail to meet expectations and deadlines. And the time and effort you put in may not be worth the price. So don't worry about getting clients quickly but worry about the quality of your service. If you have exceptional service people will pay even if you ask a lot. And if you don't have exceptional service I would rather you invest time in making your service exceptional before launching a business. Just some friendly advice.
