A PSD file does not a web design make.
Yesterday I had this crazy idea: People pay me $15, I make them a web design

Re: Yesterday I had this crazy idea: People pay me $15, I make them a web design
#62I'm wondering, as I'm not making any money (devoting time to a startup idea) right now, if anyone would be interested in a similar service for the markup? I'm really quite good and would charge $15/page. I can offer impressive turn around times and even CMS(WordPress) integration for an additional flat-fee($250?).
Would you be cutting it up onto a 'backbone' of our choosing (like 960.gs or blueprint) ? (Obviously this will depend on the overall design, but hopefully the idea is clear).

or two domains point to the same site, and have a $20 in the logo slashed out, replaced with $15.You're the creative one - make it work :)
This would make for a fun A/B test: "$15 + $5 extra" vs. "$20 - $5 discount". You might collect some evidence that people like getting a deal more than getting hit with an extra cost.
to get a design for <$30, your not going to notice a huge difference in acquisition for the $5

#64You allow me to put a screenshot of the design on this page; ($5 extra if you don't) You could reword that clause so your clients feel they're getting something valuable for their $5. Please note that I post all designs to my public portfolio and this website. If you need the design to stay secret, it only costs $5 more Or you could invert your pricing. So you start off as "designfor20bucks" and offer a $5 discount i…
I don't think the $5 makes a huge difference: and this way, the designer has more chance that people will allow him to post the design into his portfolio.
I'm pretty sure he is not doing it for the money, but rather to get some experience and build up his portfolio.

#65Well, as you said, you had "this crazy idea"
sounds crazy indeed!
Hope to see some designs in the lastest section ;)

#66I just started a new blog and wanted a nice design for it. $15 is definitely a good price, if it's a decent design. (Note that I said 'decent' and not 'outstanding'. I know what design is really worth.) But without some samples, it feels like I'm just throwing away $15.
For $15 you can test the waters. How much do you make in an hour? How long will it take you to design your own web site? In other words, is it worth the $15 gamble to see if someone can come up with something to blow you away?

I was just thinking of something similar; Would everyone want HTML5 elements or rather not?
My thinking right now, is I would build an order form that has a few predefined options. I usually use my own CSS starting point but am familiar with 960.gs. Blueprint seems to be the other big one, so I could look into adding support for that.
But mostly, the markup and css would adhere to my standards. I would have to do this to make the development time minimal so charging to low price makes sense. I would of course offer example markup on the order website.

#68As psd file - so I would have to spend another few hundred $ to get a legal Photoshop to watch it?
Or use Paint.net along with a photoshop plugin to open it for free.

#69A PSD file does not a web design make.
$15 does not a web design make either. This is why it is so cheap.
