well,

Nothing is absolute. whether you quote by hour, or a flat rate fee, more or less, cheap or costly, it all depends on your LUCK..

there have been days when I charged top dollar and customers paid and I lost some project bids inspite of quoting cheap prices.

Each customer is unique and has a different mindset. gotta try luck and keep persisting.

I fully agree with Patrick. Templates are really short-termed. Use and throw. You wanna redesign or make a major update, you gotta search for another template again. Get a fully customized design and stick to its theme as it is going to be exactly as you want and as you need. Comprising in few dollars may be idiocy. Loss is loss, may it be $5 or $5000 and remember advertising dollars are very difficult to return back.

Hi – I’ve only just read this blog. Its great, well done!

Template style web designs are making people believe that building a site is easy and cheap nowadays, and it is, if that’s all you want.

The misconception that the same price tags should follow for fully functional optimised sites is frustrating.

Setting a budget at an early stage can solve a lot of problems!

I loved this blog post, since I am a manager of company that makes custom built websites, you won’t believe how much we get customers who haven’t got a single clue as to security risks they face working with smaller companies, and not even price for money ratio. Posts like these are very good, they educate public that’s what we need more.

Whilst i agree with the some of the comments. Who buys a pair of shoes without knowing they fit and how much they cost. Costs from one company to another vary so much that the poor webidiotz are left wondering who is telling the truth. So we made it some get a free custom made design and see how it fits and also we will give you a fixed price.
