Wordpress Blog Design
 

I need to Have a few done... Who here does them ? what pricing

Example site i want to develop http://www.india-sluts.com/

Folio down there. Price guide. $600-$900

Machinegunkelly does them http://www.twistedbydesigns.com

well, your example is just the default theme, not sure if that's what you want. Anyway, we can do ANYTHING you want related to WP. Furthermore, check http://www.flamine.com, maybe one of those high end themes is what you need

Why in the world would i pay 600-900 dollars for a wordpress design ?

I dont even know if i will be able to get the site to make money seems like alot of invest

Go back to mowing lawns .........Best advice i can give.

Flamine guy is very expensive and his design skills are questionable.

I don't know how the fuck do you know that if you never contacted me with regards to this. As for my skills... well, guess ALL BIG COMPANIES IN ADULT (I mean ALL OF THEM) are retards that don't know as much as you, since they hire me even though I have no skills.

But well, I'm sure you're an expert on the field, since you usually contact me begging to exchange 20 or 30 bucks. Nothing wrong with that, but it just tells a lot when you compare yourself to multi million dollar companies :2 cents:

Let me rephrase your post: "I can't pay even for the cheapest script, and I have no idea about design or marketing or anything" See? I fixed it for you. For free. You're welcome! :thumbsup

Your're welcome harvey, have a nice day.

this can be done custom for lower cost. ive posted to you on other forum about it, email me fletchxxx @ gmail.com

not every wants or needs a $1,000 wordpress design, they look great but not in everyone budget.

stick around
& you will find the right person within your budget.

good luck :thumbsup

Your quite correct. 600-900 is a lot of money. And that price equates to man hours and level of exclusivity.

Even 'free' templates have generally had a semi decent designer spend a day or two on them. There is usually an upsell to remove links/branding, but there is some killer free stuff out there. The only drawback is 20k other blogs have your design.

Cheap and cheerful themes $45, again not exclusive..but usualy tailored to a niche. Upsells to include your logo are common. SOmetimes limited to a certain amount of sales.

Totally custom. Starting from either a bare framework or something like thesis. The layout will be designed to your requirements. The graphics will kick ass. Nobody will have a theme like yours. $300 for a entry level designer. Heading to $900+ $1500+ $2500+ depending level of skill and awesomeness of your designer and indeed your requirements.

This should have been your reply instead of "Mowing Lawns" comment. Potential clients may see you as a jerk. :2 cents:

a little cooth would do Gimme a great deal of good.

I find her obnoxious and her constant posting like she's king shit turns me off... especially when I've heard of a few problems she's been causing clients with delays recently.
:error

The delay is called my work queue. It's becuase folks have confidence in my work and abilitys. People like to hire me.. i like to be hired. Its a win win situation..
There is only one person in my queue who has expiereinced a delay in recieveing work.. so i know who your talking about. But 25 blogs don't happen overnight...

My posting style is slightly dark, but if you have an ounce of smarts you can see the humour in my words. Thanks for your advice though.

See i cant resist posting. Ill calm down a little when i get to 1k posts.

I wanted to edit my post but im out of time. So sorry for being king shit and posting yet again. "my designer is taking ages" is a sentance i hear a lot. And Id like to offer the other side of the coin on this subject.

Graphic design isnt like photography. Its not an instant event. It's a process..
And that process is like a road trip... Some passengers know their destination and you can drive them there directly. Others just have a map drawn on a scrap of paper and dont realy know where they want to go.

In a perfect world every job would have a ETA accurate to the minite. You could achive that maybe if you had 1 client..but when you have 10 jobs in the queue it gets hard.
Now i know what your thinking "don't take on so much work if you cant deliver in time".
I retort with "My clients come to me becuase the want ME. they are told the "queue".. it is their choice to join it or not.

Now other conciderations. Last week we were blackmailed to let a guy jump the queue.
His english was poor, and he didnt understand the difference between "how long will it take you " (3 days) and "when will you do it" (2 weeks). Normaly i would have refunded.. but his threats were so repugnent that i decided to roll over and show my belly. It wasnt worth the fight. I worked 7am -midnight that week to get his AND other scheduled work out the door on time.

Add to this life events such as medical emergancies ect..
I think ALL the known designers on this board do a fan-fucking-tastic job of serving you all.

Posting style. Well you do whatever works for you.
There's a guy here who just talks about poo.
There's a guy who talks like a bot
Theres a designer who claims to be the "best in the world"
Theres a designer who will get her tits out if you ask nicely

What works for me works for me.....Obnoxious.. eliteist..SUre.. i accept that. But it works for me. And if you dont like it.. the block button is easy to locate.
