Worth 10K?

[South]

The lady that had this done says she paid $10,000 for it. Worth it?

whats that smell?

[PhilC]

Damn rich fools ! Why can't I find one!? :wink:

[Jazzee]

I think it's a cute site, but not very user-friendly. Not worth $10,000 IMO

[DaveyBoy]

although if anyone wants to pay you 10k for something similar, PM her

Nah, PM me...

Yes.

[wbstein]

i think i'm just going to start charging 10,000 and 20,000 dollars for my sites, i mean if they can get away with it, why can't i? haha

[LazyJim]

Yeah cute but note very practical (or accessible), although for the average to experienced category of users it is usable.

Not worth $10,000 imo but some atists charge a lot for a few illustrations like those.

Unique site. No time to check for priority level 1. Maybe later. Very nice illustrations though. Nice colors.

[Fusion]

No breadcrumbs on the cart, and the interface changes a bit much.

[ATLien]

That is a nice site, but not $10,000, maybe 5 or 6 tops.

[Rizande]

the most complicated part of the whole site is the shopping cart and that kinda stuff with buying online.

[South]

The forms look screwed up in my browser.

[younghistorians]

I'd say its worth around 8K because of all the custom drawings/animations.

[younghistorians]

wait, was coding included in the cost?

[Johan007]

Yep its a very good design with shopping cart. Worth around $10k. I think its a bargain cos there are loads of cartoons to justyfy the cost alone.

The fact that its very unusable does not factor to newbie clients

No offence Jazzee but you or I doing a site like this would most likely need to hire a cartoonist and if she/he is reputable would need to charge about $3000 for that many images (if not more). And if you need a coder to do the shopping cart he can charge $100 per hour.

I would bet that you could duplicate that site very closely, using free images (legal ones) from the web and a simple free shopping cart program.

It might take you a week , off and on to finish it.

How much do you make in a week?

Often the customer does not want stock pics so why limit them if they want a brand of their own. When Peugeot ask Enzo Ferrari to design cars they don’t pay him the same as Peugeot designers nor do they say "no thanks Enzo ms clip art should have a free design we can use".

It is worth that much, it's completely bespoke, unique, not some template monster crap. Quite different to the plethora of document style sites.

[LazyJim]

fusion 10,000 just to be unique?
As mentioned the most costly part is probably the illustration, followed by the concept creation by an imaginative designer, and then the coding - which is expernsive even though they probably had an easy time coding it by clicking buttons in dreamweaver!

Some clients will have set a side a big budget for the website because it is so important to their success and they expect a high return for the investment. It is worth more to them than the cost of developing it.

At the end of the day if the client can afford it and doesn't object to such high prices then charge high prices!
