Web Design Pricing Revisited

Real Estate Site Design

I knew I’d get emails from my post yesterday about design pricing for Open Realty. It seems I need to stand corrected a bit as my argument that selling templates for $2,000 is in someway unethical.

I have to concede after reading 3 emails in particular that it is true that a designer or webmaster can charge or command any price he / she feels they could get away with and do so without being called a fraud or deceptive. My argument yesterday was the issue of telling your client that a design is exclusive or custom when in fact its not.

Anyway so if any of my blog visitors were offended by that I stand corrected. It is ok to charge whatever you feel your services are worth.

    No this shouldnt be allowed. The key to stopping this is by exposing those who do it. Also by educating blog readers out there who are interested in this subject will also get the information out there to help prevent this.

    At one time in the early part of my career I was duped like that, but after A LOT of time online and research I now know better.

    My wife is a doctor and doesnt make per hour what some of these scam artist charge. Tell me how a designer should command $300 per hour thats more money than most doctors average per hour.

    Just keep informing people Jared. In the long run those who are trying to scam these consumers will soon find themselves in the unemployment line.
