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.

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.
