    Would you pay 1200 US for template site design??

    I recently had some work done, and was under the impression I would be getting a custom design. After I looked through all the files uploaded I noticed within minutes it was template.

    The total job was for 5 pages.

    I paid 1200.

    Scrapped the design within 1 week.

    What do designers charge for REAL CUSTOM work??

    well of course you wouldnt pay for it. A good site nowadays 2.5-5k. If you're doing some serious branding/Identity work you could pay up to 20k.

    Edit.. for 1200 you should be able to get a somewhat decent custom design.

              Hi,

              Well for 5 pages, i.e. splash, 5 tours, etc we charge a few hundred more then what you paid, But for $1200.00 you shouldn't be getting a template.

              thanks

                Not everyone here is a noob, despite post count.
                Sorry you thought I felt that way.

                      Torrey,

                      np at all.

                      Always try and do good research when hiring designers, programmers, etc.

                      Check out the companies portfolio, references, who they have worked for before, etc.

                      If you ever need any help please let me know.

                      thanks

                        There is always cowboys, but there are also good designers...

                        www.scotty.cc

                        Check him out... he has done over 5 designs for me over the last 3 years and has always delivered a fresh new design with a cutting edge that you simply cant find anywhere else.

                        He has also been paid (in advance due to trust) for the latest design about to be released at the end of the month on AE.....

                        Anyone needing design, Id suggest Scotty.cc (if you can afford it).....

                          I appreciate that.

                          My company has never made a web presence, we have 100s of hours of our own original content, as well as most or our directors signed to allow for DVD ripping and such, but we still havnt found the right people for the task. Ive tried to drop a few threads as well some ads in newspapers to hire an inhouse designer/webmaster, (we got enough work, we need a self starter). Still no decent response.

                                  You can find great designers for half that or less that won't turn in a template.

                                      If any of you know anyone who is looking to either expand scope, start a new program, or build a content store, or just flat out take my content.

                                        Take the content? Is this turning into a give away?
