Lil' help with pricing guidelines, if you please...
- Normal offline business page, where the focus is online marketing presence versus the page being an actual sales platform.
- Need not be extraordinarily fancy concerning customization - a sharp looking template (yet customizable) can be used.
- Installation of a few run 'o da mill widgets (email signup, twitter/facebook feed, etc.).
- 99.9% of traffic will come from SERPs, so algo friendly programming (and a developer who knows the difference).
- No content creation - I have that covered.
- Probably no more than 30 pages total within 6-10 main menus.
- 4-6 banner type graphics per page (banner creation not needed).
- Ability for a non-programmer to add content/pages in the future.
The questions:
- I'm not a low-baller and prefer to work with professionals. If it were content I was sourcing, I would sub out to somebody charging $35-$50 for a 500 word article. Using a corresponding price scale in the developer world, what is your guess as to what I can expect to pay?
- What is a reasonable turn around time to expect?
- Although I am sure I could find someone on a site like elance, that ain't my sorta thang. If I am going to pay somebody x amount of dollars, I want that x to go into their pocket. Not x-y, with y being taken off of the top by a third party who is doing nothing for me. I would rather snag somebody from this forum, where the deal is: "Twenty bucks please. Thank you. Good luck." instead of, "Give me yer twenty bucks plus a percentage of every job you land off of your ad." That being said, and using writing again as an example, I have surveyed quite a few writer's ads, clicked on many samples and found several samples that contain the most basic of errors. In addition to everyone scrambling to the bottom of the price scale - which scares me a bit and does not inspire confidence - can I expect the same from developers/programmers advertising there?
Thanks in advance for any of those three questions you wish to tackle.
