ignace Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 What do you charge avg/max for a website design? I want a proper design for my own finances system, and I want to hire someone to design it for me, but it's just a side-project so I don't feel like investing 2000+ on it. Before I am going to post in the freelance section I would like to know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 If you find a cheap/free theme that you can modify to make it a little more unique, it might help to drive the price down. 30 minutes to an hour of tweaking an already made theme is easier than creating a brand new design from nothing.

Philip Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It really depends on your specs (how many pages, how many revisions, is a logo required, etc.) When I'm feeling lazy and I don't do the design myself, or do the following suggestion, it usually costs $1500 for 3-4 unique pages... and that's just the PSD, not the HTML. If you're on a budget, I'd highly recommend ThemeForest (disclaimer:affiliate link for me). I'd suggest either purchasing just the PSD (usually $6-10), of which I've linked you to, or if you get a pre-built HTML design ($10-25) then uhh.. just a heads up that a lot of the code is usually thrown together by designers that don't code too often. For a finance system, you'll probably be looking for something like an admin theme - which sadly they don't have any straight PSDs of. Oh, one last note. If you do go with a PSD and don't feel like slicing it up into HTML, we've used HTML Burger ($100-$300) at work with a lot better code results than the ones found on ThemeForest.

ignace Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thank you Philip exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I'll be sure to reference you when I purchase I also found a designer willing to sell one of his design on his portfolio matching my needs for 250.
