Website service a good income?

[titaniumhijau]

Ehm, just asking some of you. Did someone hired to make website or blog service? Did anyone of you already did this job? Its worth or not? I need to know some response from you if its really a good job. Many my friends ask me about that. So, what do you think guys?

[Surreal]

Huh? Are you asking if anyone has been hired as a web developer to create a website? Or possibly maintain a blog? Is that what you are asking, I am unsure because of your wording. If you could clear this up, that would be great!

[titaniumhijau]

Yes. Thats what i asking about that. Sorry if you not understand. but did you know something interesting about that? My friends ask me to create website for him. But i don't know how much i need to charge him..

Yes there are many people who work to create websites and other web mediums for people and businesses. You can build an entire business around this or you can even just freelance as a web designer.

Some website (professional) services can charge excessive amounts of high $xx,xxx to create and maintain websites, while others can charge low $xx. I would say the majority of freelancers charge low to mid $xx for a website these days because of how easy it is to find someone. However, it depends on the type of site. Just charge whatever you please really.

I think generally speaking it is easier to find work if you set a mid range price. If your price is too high some businesses might not give you a second glance. If the prices are too low some businesses might think that you are not really a professional.

Actually, if you are a local web designer you can get away with charging absurd prices way above the internet medium because local businesses don't care to get into the nitty-gritty with the web. They just want a website up, and you can charge $x,xxx or $xx,xxx for just a simple 4 page design.

You mean $x,xxx or $xx,xxx for just a simple four page design????

Is it with the domain and the hosting too????

If its with domain and hosting then may be considered. But only for only designing i dont think any one would be ready to pay that.

Ok if its a preety good site with more pages and some graphic, animation included!!!!

Nope, a freelancer is charging $100.00 an hour for local web design. Most people I have seen on the web would do it between $10.00 and $40.00 an hour. So yes, absurd rates.

[titaniumhijau]

Ehm, per hour ? Its something new to me. But i'm not really expert like that expert designer. I will charge depend on my quality. If not, i will never did this service if its hard to satisfy customer. Right now,i alreayd have 3 customer and i need to settle it in 4 days! How short..

You mean you actually earn money by charging people for designing website for them? Kind of interesting. Surprisingly you have time for all that as well when you have so many affiliate programs to join and maintaining website and now designing for people. How much do you charge anyway?
