How much would you charge?
Hey guys
I've pulled together a rough bundle for a product - and I wonder if any of you had an idea of what I could charge for this?
I've been a web designer for around 14 years now, so I've quite a lot of knowledge in my head!
About a year ago I begun to get it all out my head and what I have created is the following:
A generic "vanilla" web site build - optimised for SEO, best practice/clean coded up with CSS and HTML.
This build contains pretty much the entire skeleton of a site so all you would really need is to "skin" the page with amending some of the CSS for colours etc, changing the logo to suit and any positioning. Even if you don't know CSS it will be pretty easy for you to manipulate the page to suit your own design. The build comes with various templates including a homepage, a second level page with 2nd and third level navigation in place, a forms page including code for errors/validation and a template for "sliding doors" tabs with CSS. The whole thing is also build using a 960 grid structure, so moving anything around is dead simple. This build saves us at work a good day of work at the start of every project we work on!
Pretty much all you have to do is replace out the text in the correct tags, change some of the CSS to suit your designs structure and colour ways and replace out the logo.
The code is clean and sleek having been refined over the past year or so.
I have written a guide on how to use this vanilla build. Which includes an explanation of the HTML on each page, the CSS naming conventions and a guide to translate your design to the build.
I have written a document detailing how to plug these templates into your Wordpress blog.
I have written a document detailing why you should use 960 grids when designing and why you should be using them when building websites to streamline the whole process and make your life easier when amending your pages.
I have created some PNG's and PSDs containing grids and also assets you might want to use.
Basically the whole bundle is what I use when I start every new web project - it contains all the elements required to begin a web design project and translate it into a build.
It's taken around 2 years of tweaking to get it where it is, and had 4 people over the years through various agencies i have worked at add their best practice ideas to it.
Not only does it save hours of time, it ensures consistent coding across all your projects and ensures best practice is always in place.
The guides are invaluable info to beginners and intermediates - and even for experts, the whole package is an excellent starting point for all your front end build needs.
Any ideas on how i could go about selling this, and how much for?
