A $500 Fee Is Not a Hallmark of an Expert

In an online site design discussion forum, a person wanted to know how much other designers would charge to make a site that looks like one for which they provided a link. They wanted to know because their sister recently started a CBD pet snack business. The sister found a guy to build the site, and he charged her $500. This person took a look at the site and thought it looked sloppy. They wondered if $500 is a low price and that's why they got sloppy results, or if they overpaid.

One person replied that $500 for a site is cheap, even if a template was used. In this person's opinion, the site looked spammy and had too much visual clutter. Other people agreed that for any type of e-commerce site, $500 is not enough for a quality design. This is the case even if it is a startup business in a small niche industry.

Another person said the original poster's sister should have asked for examples before paying. They added that they charged $500 as a freelance beginner years ago, and the results they provided their clients were similar to what the original poster's sister received. A few people added their thoughts that the site has a terrible design, and it looks like a giant billboard.

One person looked into the designer's past work and discovered that two of the three sites are no longer live or in use, so those people might not have gotten good results from the site designer. A person went to the designer's personal website and stated that it was a hot mess. After looking at the designer's own website, they said they wouldn't hire that designer to build anything.

Many people said that the $500 is not enough money for a quality website. A website is an investment in the business. It is often the first point of contact that a prospective customer will have. If the website does not yield a good first impression, then a person is unlikely to make a purchase even if the product is a good one.
