planet-nick · 05-08-2005, 01:28 PM

Hi,
I run a company called Planet-Nick Web Design and we offer high quality web design services at a very low cost for more details pm me or add me to my msn - planet-nick@hotmail.co.uk click HERE to see our web site

1) Stop spamming your site.
2) £4.85 for web design? Seriously, get real mate. Do you really expect to get anywhere this industry when you sell your services as cheap as that? If you do, then your very, very disilusioned!

Yes We Are Offering Web Design For That Low Because We Are A New Company Trying To Build Up A Large Portfolio.

£4.85 is taking the whole "we are new so we're offering low prices" a bit too seriously!

planet-nick · 05-09-2005, 09:52 AM

I know that it is a very low price but that it our low price package

will7 · 05-09-2005, 10:45 AM

My point is, there's low price and there's low price. If you are offering web design packages for less than the price of 1 month's hosting, then there's something seriously wrong with your business plan (do you actually have a business plan?).

If that's your low price, what's your low price - £10.50

Also, people are not even going to take you seriously with such prices. The thing is, people have entered the mindset now that price = quality. In general, this is true, Ceonex being a prime example. They charge $20k for an average site, but its amazing quality. There are exceptions to the rule however

Now, I have tried to give you advice, and, I could be wrong, but I'd like to see you still in business (or at least running in profit) in a year or two year's time. Come back here and tell me, make a note in your business diary

He's right Nick, now I don't know you, but looking at your Web site it looks like you have some skills that are worth a whole lot more than £4.85. If the graphics on that site are yours, then you have every chance of making it out there, I suggest you do some cold calling in and around your local area (it works for me!) to try and get some business.

how good will the design be when you are cahring so little for web desgin?
you are just making the web desgin industry worse.

preform a free service or something for non-profit organziations to build up your portfolio would be much better way to get into this web design business if you lock of portfolio.

Everyone just give the kid a break!

Let him be.

Good luck, Nick!

will7 · 05-10-2005, 12:13 AM

Give the kid a break? You see, the person is running a business and, in business, there are no "breaks". Business is a tough ole' world and we are merely warning him that if he wants to survive out there, then he should raise his prices to fit with the market.

Why not design for, say, £200 - £300 if you wanna start cheap? They are unbelievably cheap rates (for small businesses) in today's market...

AshDee · 05-10-2005, 12:55 AM

how is that paper hanging on like that the paper clip aint on right hehe

planet-nick · 05-10-2005, 10:39 AM

Hi,

I dont mind if you think my prices are to low because i know what im doing and so far it is working i have been doing web design ince the age of 9 and now i have started my own business im not going to let anything or anyone stop me.

Keith Allen · 05-10-2005, 11:16 AM

How old are you now? Just curious how long you have been doing design.

I don't think it is anyone elses problem how he runs his "business" or how cheap his prices are...he is doing the work and lives with the consequences, not anybody else...so stop raping his thread.

Good Luck Nick

planet-nick · 05-10-2005, 11:25 AM

thx keef

will7 · 05-10-2005, 11:25 AM

Well, I've given my opinions and would like to wish Nick good luck (and I also hope this does not cause a feud between us, it's just that sometimes I give my opinions in a very frank and, sometimes harsh way).

So, best of luck in your new venture and I hope you survive. Don't forget to come back in a year or two and give us an update
