Bro... The general price in India is around 7k for normal html sites and 14k for wordpress websites. The price you are quoting is low. Increase your price to 100$ atleast then it will become even. (40$ for theme + 60$ for u). I own my own firm and I was a freelance web developer. And trust me, this will always work. All those who are trying to quote you very low price like 3000inr are just trying to rip you off. It happened to me when i started 3 years back. I made psd->html for 500inr. Now my firm does it for 6000inr minimum.

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your idea but here in my locality people charge 5k - 6k for a static site with hosting and domain for a 5 pages site

Thanks

Have you tried using sites like elegant themes? You get quite a lot of different themes for a yearly fee which isn't that much. There are other sites like it as well but I can't remember the sites right now...

Thanks Kinlee,

I will check out elegant themes. I remember one package which came for $9 a month subscription where we can download all the themes. I passed it away and now regret doing that

Thanks

Don't worry about Elegant themes - yes they look really nice but most of them aren't responsive (ie they dont read that good on mobile devices). I always use http://themeforest.net for html templates or wordpress themes and then customise them for my clients. Most of the good ones are around 40 to 55 USD for wp themes and 15 to 20 USD for html static templates. They are HTML5/CSS3 coded and are responsive (which what you want).

Thanks

You can work with free themes as well or get a theme like thesis that you can pretty much customize in any way you want. Though you do lose some time in the customization and design process. Like ajayu1992 said, you can bump up your price to include the price of the theme or you can even be upfront about it and say that you charge X amount + the price of the theme they choose, giving them the option to use a free one, or one which you already have the rights to use...
