Part One: Normally, if you want to have professional designers custom build your site, you must be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred dollars if not a few thousand. But if you know where to find the best deals, the best designs for the lowest prices,then you can save yourself hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Below you will find a rough guide:
First, you must understand that it is a rip off to get companies to design websites for you. All it is, is a liscence to print dollars.. I am sure you have 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 there business overheads: office rent, designer's wages, advertising costs and so on and so on.
The solution is to find freelance designers who work from home with little overheads. These people are often working from home so they do not have a high operation cost like that of a large company. These designers will be able to design images with quality similar if not better in some cases to those of designers from big companies.The choice is the big fat overbloated corprate design company or the man down the road who isn't going to charging you an arm and a leg. So it's a "no-brainer" when it comes down to choices.
However, that's not to say that there aren't things to look out for when using a free lance designer. You should choose freelancers with care. The best way to do this would be to go to elance.com. There, you can post the abstract of your project and get thousands of freelancers to bid on your project, so you will surely get the best deal. On top of that, you will be able to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so your value for money is secured.
A good tip is when you do decide which freelance designer your going to use then join a couple of forums like Warrior Forum which is a really good one and ask people there opinions of the work the designer has done for them.
Is he or she trust worthy, do they do a good job, are they reliable and deliver on time, are there designs different and individual and do they stand out from the crowd.
