WP Design Info?

Warriors,

What is a fair price to have a WordPress theme designed?

Nothing complicated... But it needs to be visually attractive. I have example sites for reference.

I only have two 'must have' elements included (Table & Slider).

TIA,
Mark

  • If you're referring to the graphic design and coding...

    Outsourcing (india, china, pakistan, etc) $100 - $200
    Hungry College Kid w/exp: $250 - $350
    Professional Web Dev: Maybe $750. But more likely $1000 - $2000

    If it's just the design

    Outsourcing (india, china, pakistan, etc) $30 - $75
    Hungry College Kid w/exp: $100 - $150
    Professional Web Dev: Maybe $350. But more likely $500+

    • Outsourcing (india, china, pakistan, etc) Cheap but you may never get it. Or it may take 90 days, lol. Been there done that.

      Good job ='s up to 2500.00 "Yes this is theme only!!!"

      mid level decent job ='s around 400 to 1000

      ok third best =" 150.00 to 400

      Theme hackers and people who build on free downloaded themes and dont offer support or run away when you call them to fix the issues with javascript problems or things like this ="s $ 35.00 to 150.00

  • Try themeforest.net...sliders are common on most themes. The design and coding is usually top notch. Only downside is that you won't have an original design.

    • Meyerbytes,

      Themeforest was one of the 'theme' sites that I looked at. I spent close to three hours looking at what was available. I did see two or three that looked great.... The only drawback was the placement of the tables (think review) that I want side by side to the slider. I couldn't, and haven't found a design yet that has this look with one exception, a free theme that requires the footer links to remain in place. I don't like where these URLs resolve to otherwise I would use it. I have tried to buy this theme from the developer but so far no joy. I did send him a second request for a purchase but haven't heard anything yet. The first time I contacted him he said that the theme was not for sale.

      My next plan of attack is to try and find a plugin that will incorporate the tables.... Looks like I'm going to try and create something myself.

      The domain that I want to apply this theme to is sitting at #17 with no content so far. Time is of the essence right now, so I need to find a solution fast.

  • "Visually attractive" is what designers charge you for. Just a logo can cost you $250 (this is the rate of an Indian designer friend). Complete design even more, or at least that price. Coding the site can take another $100-250 or more, depending upon the features required. By the way, it's not Indian vs American or something. The actual problem is quality vs price. If you want to pay less, don't expect the top notch quality.

    By the way, if Frontpage, Dreamweaver or Firebug could create designs, everyone would have been a designer and I would have been out of job Unfortunately, these are just tools. You need to have design sense to create pleasing websites. And, for lean and efficient website, you need to know the codes (PHP, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, JQUERY).
