Another way to look at the problem is if the INVESTOR (aka paysite owner) has $2K to invest...
does he invest ALL in 1 guy and take the chance of the design either hitting mediocre conversions or possibly hitting a very good conversion ratio?
OR
does he pay $899 and go with AOS (or whoever else outsource or cheap US/EU designer, I don't care--this is a statistics issue instead of an outsource issue) and have many test designs drawn up and see which convert better?
Does having a statistical diversity afford an investor (paysite owner) a measure of insurance against the unknown?
Of course, buying shitloads of test traffic and running it through these designs is CRUCIAL.
SO....
If someone is asking for 1K and up for design, shouldn't it part of the DESIGNER's job to offer some sort of technical testing of the traffic potential of his designs?
Conversely, wouldn't an OBJECTIVE ranking system based solely on the ability to convert take much of the guess work and wasted expense in the whole designer selection process? (kinda like the Statistician but designers don't pay anything to be listed--takes out the conflict of interest issue)
