well, this has been a very interesting thread to read,
personally, I'm in the web business as well, although I'm more developer inclined

But literally, what I see happening here in the market is, there's so much 'web companies' that doesn't deserve to be one. they charge 300-2k, come out with template based stuffs that they took from elsewhere... and calls it a wrap.

What happens is, this creates a false sense of value in an actual 'good' website. I've been asked to do something for such a ridiculous price that I almost ended up laughing out loud in front of him.

For pricing, I usually goes for 1.5k per project basis. Or more depending on what they want.. especially in regards to flash sites. The more you pay me, the more hours i'll put in refining the effects, getting it right, etc etc.

It's really hard to put a price on our line of work...

Speaking of which, any graphic designers here who would take on some freelancing jobs/per project basis? drop me a pm and i'll keep you in the loop the next time i need design services

At the same time, if you need a reasonably good php developer who knows about templating/standard compliance codes to help you out in tight times, drop me a mail too
