Curious about freesite prices from designers - GoFuckYourself.com

iwantchixx · 12-15-2003, 08:41 PM

What is the average you charge for a 4 page site with two galleries and custm banners if needed to match advertising scheme? I am charging 30 per site. Some say I am shooting myself in the foot, others say it's a decent price to charge.

wtf? Sounds like an awsome site.

OzMan84 · 12-15-2003, 08:52 PM

not sure, search for designers on this, and go and see their prices and portfolios

I charge around $20 but that's without custom banners - 30 is probably a tad low if you are including custom graphics as well.

I haven't done free sites for anyone in a few months, but I used to charge $25 each. With all custom ads it would be more. $30 is a pretty good deal for a site with custom ads.

why would you charge $30 or even $50 per freesite design when you can get lots more doing it for your own? (your own freesites)

why should anyone pay $30+ for a freesite design if he's not going to make a profit from it?

a site is useless without traffic or content.
the designer just worries about the look and nothing else.

as for your prices, iwantchixx, i think they're pretty good.
skrog tried to charge me $60 for a free site.
