honest comment are appreciated

Graphic wise, I give you A.
Functionality wise, I give you F.
The first rule in web design is for any visitor, not just your targeted visitor, is to get the gist of your website, and the benefits they will get from your service/product in which you offer from your website, within the first few crucial seconds.
Mysoft is too simple until i have no idea what it offers.
Bubbleebizz is too clouted with stuffs and images, even the background too, and too many links.
For these two sites, I have to click on ABOUT US to know what you guys are offering.
So an F is for you two tongue.gif

This is good. But why IluvIslam.com is advertised at the top of your site?
You did well in highlighting what you do, but still fall short of answering the most pertinent question: why must I choose you?
Also, your add : IluvIslam.com is really unprofessional. Not about religion here, but its about RELEVANCY.
For reciprocal links, normally it would be done on a "Partners" section or "Portfolios". Not simply at the top whereby this site (by the domain name itself) doesn't indicate anything to do with Web Design or your professional services.
It looks as though you are eager to promote religion more than doing business.

My 2 cents. smile.gif

Two things I would look in a web designer:
1) His own website
2) His portfolio (how he designed other people's site)

Then I weigh it against the industry standard best practices:
1) Highlights who you are, what you do and why choose you in the least possible time for the visitor to grasp
2) No more than 3 clicks for every visitor to get what they want
3) Relevancy of links/ads. No conflict, no irrelevant ads, and certainly no google ads (unless its a personal blog, not corporate one...as one will think this company doesnt earn much so it needs google adsense.)
4) Proper usage of image and words and captions to make use of #1 effectively
5) Corporate branding - not just nice graphics, but how you'd sell the company.

Could be more, but if all 5 of these are satisfied, the site can easily cost RM3000 - or more.

How much should I get paid if I design template for people?

How much are you worth?

It can be a miserable RM500, or a premium RM2000++ that really draws people in and make enquiries/sales.
