a basic site should not cost more than $300. Where more complex site can range in price from $1,000 to 10,000 or more depending on the focus.
In general, if you pay more than $1500 for a basic original site design and graphics - you may be paying too much.

...no, I am not for hire.
Ya, and you should be able to hire a profesional guide for $300 per day as well.
Like all things in life, you get what you pay for. Graphic design is no different.
Sure you can hire some computer hack to throw together a website for you that may be technically good, but does it look good? Does it get you customers?
I have a friend who is a very talented scientist and knows computers inside and out - but his graphic design skills are shall we say... lacking. I can spot one of his sites a mile away - they all look pretty much the same.
My ex used to do website design before she became a realtor. With her it was the full meal deal. You got someone who was computer literate and able to run the programs, she has an English degree so she can take your scribbled notes and write the narrative, she is a profesional photographer by trade, so she can do all your photography to a high skill level, and she is also an artist, so she has a good sense of color and style. She also spent a year, full time at BCIT doing a computer graphics & website design course.
You will pay a decent price for her work, but you will get the best she has to offer, and from what I have seen, she is a fair bit better than most hacks out there.
Take a look at a lot of the websites based in Tahsis to see her work. Some of them are linked off of my links page. BTW, she had very little to do with my website - only the buttons and a few technical aspects. I do most everything else.
