whenever there is web design project, consider the following criteria:
1. sitemap (how many pages u have?)
2. media (flash banner? animated gif?)
3. special features (CMS? Blog? enquiry form? shopping cart?)

for plain html page (photoshop or not doesnt matter), as a freelancer i would charge RM500 for the design (overall look and feel and art), then 200 per page (100 per page if reuse the same design of other page).

LOL goldfries ur reply make my day. guestbook... i nv build one before.

as a web agency / freelancer, please set a good rate for the output (website) and the service that u provide. think of how many designers out there paying their study loan, cars and house. the time designers go to meeting, do the design changes, type email, sitemap / content planning, presentation are all professional service, please dont do them for free. designers are skillful professional, not fast food restaurant's cashier or toilet cleaner.

website, as a tools to generate more revenue / cooperate branding, which can bring in thousands and thousands of profit, while the site only cost 500? this is the price that i'll quote for a A4 poster design (exclude the printing cost).

regardless of how important website is, asking non design / IT student to pick up web development skills is plain idiotic. to build a EFFECTIVE website require so much skill n knowledge than just HTML, CSS, ecommerce plugin and other technical skill.

how about branding? usability? credibility / trust? internet marketing? traffic analysis? all these are experience from expert in order to build a successful ecomerce website. simply ask a business fresh grad to handle the web design project for the company is as stupid as give money to a beggar and ask him to buy stock.

dont get me wrong, it is a MUST to understand how important website is. how it works, how can a business utilize the internet for sales / branding. it provides better view for the student to be able to generate better modern marketing solutions.

glad to hear that. i believe that's the best compliment when client inform the agency that the solution are great!

most of the time the value of the website is depends on how much it can help the client. like nike e-commerce website will worth more than my uncle's shoe shop site, hence i would charge higher for nike even the deliverable is the same.

yup, i'm a revoltech collector (currently 60++ revoltech).
