Are you a designer or a prostitute?

At least one time I need some comments about my thoughts!

Most people don't care about quality anymore, only the prices are important.

I do design for web, xHTML-CSS and I create WordPress themes.

If I say that I will charge US$ 500 someone will charge less and less, until some crazy dude charge 50 bucks for a custom piece of shit designed theme.

My last job:

http://www.maniaporno.com/
A WordPress theme for a brazilian blog.

I work with clean and elegant design.

I believe my work is good. I only need to find the right company or people to work with.

The true is:

"There are good designers making good money and there are good designers working for pennies, as well as there are bad designers making good money and bad designers working for almost nothing."

It is all about networking, human connections, contacts, meeting the right people, even if you work online from your home.

One thing I know for sure, we are designers, not prostitutes.

Let's start charging a fair price for our work.
