Normally, if we want to have professional designers custom build wer site, we must be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred dollars. All this can change if we know where to find the best deals, the best designs for the lowest price. Here's a rough guide:
First, we must understand that it is a rip off to get companies to design websites for us. Have we ever seen those advertisements in newspaper classified ad sections that offer a 5-page website at $500? These companies are established companies with physical locations, therefore they have to increase the amount they charge to pay off some overheads: office rent, designer's wages, advertising costs and so on.
Therefore, it would be wise to find freelance designers who work from home. These people are often working from home so they do not have a high operation cost like that of a company. On the other hand, they will be able to design images with quality similar to those of designers from big companies, so it's a "no-brainer" choice.
However, choose freelancers with care. The best way to do this would be to go to elance.com. There, we can post the abstract of wer project and get thousands of freelancers to bid on wer project, so we will surely get the best deal. On top of that, we will be able to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so wer value for money is secured.
Another route we can take is to design wer website werself. Think about it, if we only need 5 simple pages to present some simple information, why waste hundreds of dollars for it? Just spend a little time to sit down and do it werself. We'll be able to design wer own sites even if we do not know a single line of HTML code with the help of WYSIWYG (what we see is what we get) programs such as Microsoft Frontpage, Macromedia Dreamweaver and so on.
