    Dont want to get ripped off

    Im currently shopping around for a professional web designer to create a website for me. It will involve uploading text, image or adobe reader files. These files will then have to show up in a certain location and i will need a search engine. I also want it to be as fast as possible so it will be simple. Basically its a youtube for smaller files. I was wondering if one of the web designers on here could give me a quote that is reasonable for a website like this.

    Just go local, look in your yellow pages and call them up that way you can meet face to face with them.

    lol go to digitalpoint forums and ask - 10k is insane.
    If you want to be rich, sell products and services.
    If you want to be insanely rich, create and control markets.

    The place that quoted $10k must've been smokin' crack... really.

    It does not cost no $10k for that kind of work. If anything, (by the understanding you want a generic YouTube for smaller files) --- you could simply buy a pre-made script for that much and I can design you a template and everything.

    But for $10k... I'd tell that place I'm laughing at them... seriously I am.

    I know most high schools offer classes that involve web design. I know in my class, we had kids who could do stuff like that in there sleep.

    You could talk to a teacher about getting some of his advance students working on it for a class project. Then it will be free and if its not what you want, you won't lose any money. Just a thought.

    Thanks. I find that its true in most people so...I always enjoy reading it to myself to remind me to take chance and stop living in fear.

    ^^ Oh geeze, them people need to stop with all the bullshyt really... that is so friggin' ridiculous!!!!!!!

    Hit me up sometime and I can help you out on finding a pre-made script for whatever job your looking for. And if there isn't one that is pre-made, I can refer you to a place. That place being oDesk... they could be some kind of help possibly.

    Great real estate website you've got, Gaulkin. It's neatness allows for easy navigation of your website. I'm sorry, but just one suggestion. Perhaps you may consider putting a photograph of a beautiful posh home at your frontpage, instead of a sketch? may be more attractive.

    10 Large is quite the quote.

    Go to multiple web firm websites and get a quick quote to get the average cost of what you'll need to spend.

    Good luck!
