    I still can't understand people selling websites here for less than 100 usd (excl design) or sell artwork that can take easily a couple of hours for a few dollars. I get it that when you start out, you price your work low because of the low amount of experience that you have. But still... Also fuck owners who will exploit this shit when they make a few thousand easily a month.

    This is what deters most of us designers from commercial work in this community. People would pay thousands for advertisements but not hundreds to make what they're advertising look visually pleasing. Somewhat mind-boggling.

    Most designers who value their time have higher price-tags so we don't have to go through that awkward 'so how much?' '$100' 'oh i was thinking like $15?' conversation.

    The community gets what it pays for, always. Low prices = low quality work, it's always been this way. Nobody will pay high for high quality so nobody sells high quality for low.

    Definitely true, allot of people on this community expect super high quality for $20-$30, which is really nothing.

    I watched this video as well, and the guy said you price your work depending on who your client is. In other words if its a company asking for a logo, you see how many employees they got, their size, their profits etc..and you can charge like $50k for a logo project etc..

    Many people on this website don't pay what designers truly deserve, but thats fine because it's just rune-server.

    It's not fine when people who hire designers for work make a shit ton a month with their server. It doesn't matter what site you're on. That's simply exploiting. We all understand that you'll never see stuff pass in the thousands on here but paying 10-50 euro for a website isn't even worth the time of those Indian workers.

    It's about time for R-S designers to increase their prices appropriately then. People don't understand, so we'll make them understand.

    Besides, through Facebook I've been getting clients as well because on my profile my bio is just Graphics Designer. They ask for my price, i tell them it, and 99% of the time they have no problem with it.

    But here RSPS makers need to understand because they really don't lol, not all of them, but most of them.
