Hello. I am looking for DP members that can design website templates for me. I will pay between $35-$55 per design (depending on quality and functions). Most designs will need to have a webcontact form on them. You will have some discretion in the designs but they must be custom, I must own the rights to it once it is finished and they must be coded. I will typically provide you with a company logo and a header that you will build the template around. If you are interested in working with me on this please let me know by posting in this thread. I have 4 jobs that I need done right away with possibly many more to come. Please post a link to your portfolio when you post. I look forward to hearing from everyone. thallewell
I agree with Matt's points. You couldn't find a professional designer who could provide custom designs and coded. Except for those students who are building their portfolios. We can provide a professionally customized design coded for $165.00 (minimum charge) up to $275.00 depending on the design quality. Feel free to contact me when you'll be interested. Here's our PORTFOLIO -- wickedinnovations.com/works.html
Matt, I agree that $55 is pretty cheap for some designers but thanks to economics certain money is worth more in some countries then others. For a person living somewhere where rent isn't 1000/month and where a good days pay is $40 this could be a fine deal. I am just looking for those designers right now. thallewell
Hey Guys=) I am not trying to insult designers here of say that designing is not worth much money. I understand the work that goes into it and realize that it can be time consuming. Work that can be done on a computer and transferred to another across the world for free is an interesting thing. Unlike a physical object, it ships for free so essentially the only cost that goes into the creation is the time of the creator. Now, because it is a big world with lots of countries and different economic situations, it is substantially cheaper to live and work in some places then others. While a website designer that lives in New York City and has total monthly payments of over $5000 just to survive would have no interest in working 10 hours for $55. On the flip side, a designer that has an internet connection but lives somewhere where rent is $50/month and the average pay is $1.50-$2.00/hour making $5.50 and hour looks good. If you can get the template out in 5 hours that is $11/hour. This doesn't mean that life is better in New York or the other place. It simply allows a buyer of electronic creations (which ship for free) to outsource to the location where it is cheapest to live and therefore cheaper to buy services. I don't want designers to think that I am saying that their work is not valuable, I understand that it is. For designers in the States and other places I understand that my prices are too low but I am not looking for those designers right now. I am just exercising my right to purchase from who I want to purchase from. Potatoes are a lot cheaper in Idaho then Hawaii... this doesn't mean that people in Idaho are being taken advantage of or people in Hawaii are paying to much... it just reflects prices with the influence of economics and local ability and costs. I respect all designers, no matter where they live. thallewell If anyone is interested in creating these templates form me (at least 1 a week and maybe much more) you can post in this thread or you can send me a PM.
Understood mate, no worries. Thanks anyway for clarifying your side. Thus, I know you that you understood our sides as professional designers as well. Good luck anyway.
Here is an example of the quality that I am looking for. Remember, I will provide you with the header and the logo.
I think that is complete bs, I'm sorry but that's the way i feel. First of all there's an old saying that goes "You get what you pay for", you can't compare an amateur kid trying to make some quick cash because he learned some GFX in some forum or some guy/girl that lives in another country where the economy is terrible and learned web design in a crappy school and might not even have modern technology such as PS3 to someone like me whose profession is web design and programming, we actually had to study to become professionals, it's not something you learn overnight, and no matter where you live the paid should reflect your skill. Simple as that. PS: Our websites start at $490.
Cyrus, We managed to keep the conversation fairly respectable until you made your last post. You have got some serious learning to do is some things... First off, just because living expenses are cheaper in some places doesn't mean the economy "is terrible" there, it just means that it is different. Secondly, Don't assume that just because you went to school to learn this at an expensive school that you are obviously better then anyone that didn't. You might be better then many and you might be worse then some. Don't get so high and mighty. Third... "You get what you pay for" is almost always true. What you don't seem to understand is that what I pay might be worth a lot more somewhere else and to someone else then it is to you. I explained the economics of it quite clearly in my previous post and all you had to say was "I think that is complete bs" but then you neglected to make any type of genuine intelligent argument as to why you might be right. You didn't even spew nationalistic "talking points". All you really managed to do was to insult the quality designers who you feel went to "crappy schools" and "might not have modern technology". Do me a favor and take your venom filled rant to the politics section of the forum. Please stay off my thread unless you can discuss things civilly and with due respect to others. thallewell
well said, I feel more insulted by Cyrus' post than anything. cockiness is a terrible drug. I can do the design for you I have pmed some info. Thanks, Ray
Sorry "thallewell" 4 hijacking your post just have to say this, I made a thread in designs section tonight about a design I want, Its a design for a search engine that I want to look as Google, I made the current one and it was my SECOND design ever, it took me 6 hours. The so called designers here that went to flashy schools and have now thousands of loans to pay, they tell me that it will take them 2-4 days to make it and it will cost around 150, JUST for a design, since its a search engine its TWO frickin pages, so you studied at a high tech school, you were not from another country where the economy is terrible and learned web design in a crappy school and might not even have modern technology such as PS3. So all you learned was to make ONE Frickin page A DAY with a search box in it for 75USD? Excuse me if you buy something from ebay.co.uk is it cheaper or more expensive for you than if you could buy it from ebay.co.in (dont know if that even exists by the way) For the record I have two coders, one from UK and one from India, yes both are VERY professional and VERY good at what they are doing, in fact if someone switched these guys names at my MSN I would not be able to tel who is who, I pay what THEY have asked me, its me who agreed on that. and the fee for the guy from uk is higher than for the guy from India. (35USD to 48USD/Hour) I do not have anything against Indian people (my gf is from india) but hey life is what it is. But dont come here and say that you are better only because you went to flashy school, I bet that we can find someone from india that will cick your ass here. In fact please start a competition in this forum against Indians if you dare, and we will see how they F u
Hi thallewell, I have responded you in your PM Please check! I shall be waiting for your response. Thanks
Hi Tory, Hope i can carry further business with you. Healthy competition always gives a better results. and its smart buyers policy to check better options available. Cyrus_vtn people like you, use bad words to people like us and outsource work for saving some dollars. BTW for your concern let me tell you this template is designed by me and Buyer had given a review"Yeah... it looks great.". In every business, challenge is that to make buyer happy in its budget. If you have courage to take this work in tory's budget go ahead else find some other areas to generate leads. Regards D Maind
