Urgh.

Tyla uses Frontpage!

:cp

The thing is, and I suspect it in this case...

People make a small site and think, "Oh, I've mastered it now, let's start a business."

I find it depressing when I find people selling sites that I could do using Frontpage! Without sounding big headed because I know that it's still terrible, my site is way better than loads of the attempts at sites out there!

I may as well be charging 100k an hour compared to some of the crap that people try...

NOTE: I WON'T SELL SITES BECAUSE I'M CRAP.

Well, my nieghbor asked me to do this for them:

www.premiumpropetyservices.com

Now, i can do better then this, but this is a very small company and doesnt have much to write about, etc.

As i am doing it for my nieghbors they are giveing me a small fee of £50, but if i was making this for a 'proper' company and i didnt know the guy, what do you think i could charge?

Grrr,

www.premiumpropertyservices.com

Spelt it wrong..

And be serious please.

I quite like it as it is!

It depends how good you are.

Are you the kind of person who has just made a site in Frontpage and has though, "I'm a professional, let's make money!"

or do you actually know what you're doing, you've made good sites before and such...

Give us an example of what you can do, that will make things a lot easier.

The Free Bus link looks like Free BJ's.

No, i do know what im doing, i despise front page i use dreamweaver, i have currently took my website down and im making a new design.

I can use flash, and could probably make a whole site in it, etc.

So yeh, im not the best around, and i cant make really advanced sites, but i cant easily make a website, and the graphics for it.

Hmmm, that really annoys me when people do that. I've been teaching myself Web Design (Mainly just HTML and JavaScript) for a year now and recently managed to forget most of it thanks to not being able to afford PERL/MySQL/PHP books. Yet anyone who can afford an expensive program can drag a few pictures around and sell websites for £200+, and £60 for addition pages (people of which I know and annoy me).

Hmmmm.

Don't know then.

You say you're good but then so do most of the 'professionals.'

Need to see.

Don't expect more than £250 though unless you're doing something really good.
