Baked sites for paying clients?

Hey guys,

Was just wondering, seen a lot of sites here from personal companies, friends, contacts...etc. Just wondering if anyone had example site(s) built for a client that paid a legitimate market price for it? I don't need to know how much they paid (that should be privileged info anyway), just that they paid a legit market price.

Thanks,
Dave

(PS: My latest "baked" site: www.michezoyouth.co m)

Hi,
What is a "legitimate market price"? I think there isn't much money to earn with webdesign at all. Mostly it depends on the client, how much he is willing to pay. I made sites (not with Wb, but that doesnt matter) for 3000€ and nearly the same work for 300€.

I made 3 WB pages until now, one for free (sozial thing), one for some beers :-) for a cafe/bar in vienna and one for 700€, which is still under construction (and will be the next years). Recently I made an offer for a "bigger" site (> 60 pages), for 1500,- but I don't know if I get the order.

[sorry for my poor english]

"I think there isn't much money to earn with webdesign at all."

I have a bunch of friends and former work colleagues (all working in the industry) who would beg to differ with you.

A "legitimate market price" is one that a web professional could live on. That does mean sites made for paying clients and not for a hobby, "on-the-side", or for a few beers. Basically I'm trying to get a gauge on the level of site that WB has been used for. I've fond it great for the  few sites I've made for non-paying charities and the like, but am curious as to what level it would be possible to take the application. I'm not expecting it to handle million dollar Fortune 500 websites, but perhaps SME's.

Most of the sites I find posted here seem to be personal sites, charities, or "for a mate". So I'm curious...

I always wondered, are you actually allowed to charge for the open-source package? Always thought that any price offered would just be for the hosting costs and not the engine.

deeve007:
Why couldn't you charge for it? A client can pay as much as a client is willing to pay. Hence why prices were so high during the dot com "boom". Most clients don't care what you build their site with, but if it does what you have contracted with them.

Open source, PHP, ASP, Lego blocks... paper and glue. If it does what the client wants i to do then you can charge them whatever you want (and they will pay).

PHP is an open source coding language. You don't think companies charge as much for that as for ASP and the like? I'm guessing from the comments so far that you guys don't work in the industry? I'd really like to hear from someone who does, and has worked with WB for paying clients sites.

Please.  :-D
