    Cheap Designers?

    Hi,

    I am wondering if any of you guys know any cheap designers who are relatively good. I am thinking a budget of $30-50. As I said cheap.

    Please give me some help here, every designer I contact will not contact me back. Or they will but way after I have decided to forget about that project, is that the reason they are cheap?

    Please help me out here

    Regards
    Ben

    I was kind of wanting a template that is not really common, more unique

    You didn't state what you wanted designed, but $30-$50 would be too cheap for most if not all tasks.

    If you're looking for a website designed, the cheapest option would be to buy a template from a site such as templatemonster.com. If you're looking for a 'unique' design then your best bet would be to run a contest on a site such as http://gfxcontests.com/ - you would probably need to spend closer to $200 though.

    Good god, I remember about a year ago you could get a teenager to design your site for $30 and it would look relatively good.

    $200 is still cheap for a unique template. How much do you reckon I'd have to put up for a header image?

    You get what you pay for. $30 - $50 for a layout is extremely cheap. The designer deserves more than that.

    200-300 is relativly cheap for a nice template. 30-40 will just buy you some hack job, you're almost better off having a go yourself!

    You could buy yourself a nice design theory book for $40, just a thought.

    A word of warning, templates aren't usually very SE friendly.
