how long the time you need to create minisite ??

I don't think cost is the deciding factor - it's more important to see a portfolio of work.

Charging $500 doesn't automaticaly make you any better than someone charging $5.

 

What is your definition of a mini site? 4 pages only takes little time, not exceed 1 day.

 

In my opinion, its not so much about pages quantity that determine the time frame, it is much more about getting the design concept right and also choosing the images/art work used in the design, that determine the time spent on the minisite design.

For me, one minisite design concept would take me from 1 to 3 hours time, and then the rest pages are duplication. So therefore, 5 hours seems a reasonable time frame.

 

I understand where you're coming from. It's true that paying a higher rate doesn't guarantee an individual quality work. BUT, here's a statement you can go by on:

Not all higher charging service providers produce quality work, but all high quality service providers do charge higher than those that do not provide quality work...

The amount someone is charging shouldn't be a direct reflection on the quality of the work they provide but rather a guide on the level of professionalism.

 

How much do you charge for your services

 

I could make a small layout in a few hours
