to me, there are designer know how to promote himself very well. But the artwork is just so-so standard.
So, the price can mark up higher thru his speaking ability.

Still der are some low-esteem but talented designer offers lower price in humble. Main reason is lack of communication tricks. Maybe shortage of financial or the so called Passion.

I dun really care bout how skillful of ur organised minded, powerful language or potential strategy after website built.<-- This is from the heart & mind of the Client.

Dat's y sometimes u haf to prepare samples site/work to convince ur client either u worth RM200 or RM2000 value.
Unless, the designer u pay for is introduce by friend. Then even RM4000 u will think must be a good return work.

Most of us trust our friend's choice for sometimes.
