    How much to charge for a logo

    Hourly Rate = $75.00 x 6 Hours x 1 design You should expect to charge $450.00 This is what I meant to say when I put the equation together.

    How much to charge for a logo

    There is NO absolute method for charging for design work. If you really must go by some sort of equation then I would suggest the following: Technical Expertise = multiplier by 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10) for the hourly rate Number of Designs = multiplier by 1 Honestly, we charge $500 to...

    SEO vs. website traffic

    http://woodlandsadagency.com/blog/entry/2011/02/26/website-traffic-trumps-web-page-rankings.html Might be worthy information to explain to your clients that being ranked #1 is not always the most important thing in life.

    Photoshop or Illustrator

    Both is my only vote because they each serve a specific purpose in design. Illustrator - logo design (those who use photoshop for logos are sucka's) and other vector artwork. Photoshop - for almost any image manipulation and website layout design.

    Review : Accessoriesloft.com

    I was hoping you would post the technologies you are using. At first glance, it appears this site was built using Magento. Anything unique we need to know about? The site looks good for the most part but in a few areas seems to be cramped on space. I do agree that the chat windows are slightly...

    Review our first Limousine Website

    From a user perspective, the first thing you are asking new users to do is fill out one of two contact forms before giving away any information. From a usability standpoint, this may cause your bounce rate to go up. The site looks good but the color harmony gives a slightly depressing mood but...

    Beginner Question

    Great recommendations by everyone - Just make sure you go the path of using CSS instead of table based design, otherwise, you will find yourself quickly outdated in the next few months or years. If you need a really quick fix, download Joomla! or try out WordPress or Drupal and check out some...

    My Advertising Agency

    Maybe I should rephrase that. Our layouts and designs are custom. As far as extensions go, not *EVERYTHING* is custom - if an extension exists we will use it. However, we tweak most of what we use to make it look how we want it. Not a big fan of pre-built templates being a custom design agency.

    What do you think of this website?

    I'm going to assume that you are self taught and created your own website? In that regard, I think it's not bad!

    Web Design Studios from Houston

    Great critique and it's very much appreciated - we had a limited amount of time to get the website changed (by Friday July 24th) so a lot of images were "pulled over" from our old site just to get things done. That's one of the great advantages to posting web reviews - it's an excellent way for...

    Please review my website

    Nice big letters and text - great for my large monitor. However, I think you have the gray text too dark which makes it hard to read! Other than that - it's nice
