Abeg, Who Are These People Designing Websites For 4k?

Abeg, who are these people designing websites for 4k?  Can you please post ypur website here or a website you've done for 4k. No disrespects o, but this thing dey turn to disgrace o. when did websites costs 4k? everything in this country always has its own funny way of changing. I employ all web designer in this country if you are unique and have pride in doing this stuff please don't sell your self out. That the main reason why someone is saying all web designers in nija are amateurs. if you know how to design websites well and because u no get money you bring your self so low to the extent that you design websites for 4k, im sorry but you are dragging all web designers into the mud. the trend is definitly changing, web designers in this country would soon be like rockstars (you watch). we still have a long way to go so please give us a chance. No design website for any body for 4k o! rather do it free, believe me doing it free protects your image than doing it for 4k.  (NO B FIGHT O, ITS JUST DISTURBING) 1 love.

Website is different from website.

It can even be #500.

The following can be html code for a website:


Thanks to templates and all that

If Nigeria's sim cards can crash from over #10k to less than 500 naira, why not web designing?

i think they are people who does not really know about website development,  people of such make use of online template,  like fill in the gap. Don't mind them jare,  its a lucrative business if you can source for your clients,  thats the way out of making it in web development .'''

The amount you charge for any service (in this instance website design) depends on your experiences, the resources you will be using and how you value yourself. I for one will never undervalue myself inorder to get a job. If  a client wants a good quality job, he/she must be ready to paid for it.

I am just sorry for those that charge 4k for webdesign, for how long will them continue to  be in business with this peanut.

Naira or dollars?

am completely disgusted to hear this
this is IT prostitution
people like u make it extremely diificult for legitimate professionals to make money, curssseessss!!!!!!
Advice to cheapskate designer(s),, Do it for free,

IT prostitution?

If i learn my web designing freely via w3schools and i started charging people 2k. Is there any problem with that?Afterall it doesnt cost me a penny to learn it.


Take it easy Sister

charging 4k naira for websites is nothing but a serious sign of deprivation and hunger

 

End of thread !!

Thats pretty obvious, 
very probably even less!!!

A website can be developed for free, for N4,000.00 or for even over a million naira depending on whether the owner is your friend, an NGO kind of thing or a big organisation respectively.

Afterall, we have seen very good websites that didn't cost a fortune just as we have seen very bad ones costing so much money. Put differently, the cost does not directly impact on the quality as some of us may wrongly assume.

Microsoft products are expensive whereas Open Source products are free yet in terms of reliability, flexibility and acceptability the world is increasing going the way of open source.

If you can design a very good website for N4,000.00 please tell me I will give you projects to do as long as they are done well.

@Soulstar,

Are you a web developer? If yes, can you list a single website you have developed?

They say empty barrels make the most noise.

Thanks for the lecture on the difference between webpages and websites but that wasn't the issue on board.

A simple advice: You cannot become relevant by trying to run down other people just as you cannot become a good footballer by knowing the names of the footballers.

takin afam's advice, i've decided to keep quiet for some time bt i must chip in a few things:

my first thot on vicky's site was not bad bt going down ahhhhh! that's really, im speechless
and to think unlike me your paying for hosting

oboatioko, u've designed a website for 500k and more, so y shouldn't u b able to design a site for free.get  it?
mayb we could go on a date and talk contacts

all guys that can put up a professional website wt 4k are those who've made it already, afam etc, prove me wrong

wotelse 4k is too cheap esp if u're paying for quality hostin 5k, domain name for years above 5k, and time spent on net like me,  get it?

There is a difference b/w web design and web development.  If all you do is slap things together on a site, without any thought process to it, then you are the equivalent of an artist who uses a brush to throw paint onto a canvas and calls it art.  There is a difference.

If you have noticed my posts, I never use "design" but "development".  There is a difference.  As many have said here, whether you charge 4K or you do it for free, it is up to you.  It is an unwise thing to do, but you can do it nonetheless.  As I like to say, "Not that I would, but I could".  Personally, I would rather go work for Mr. Biggs than charge 4k for a website, even if all it said was "Hello World".  If you want to charge 4K, you might as well do it for free.  Heck, you are better off working for the United Nations.  I hear they are hiring 

Playing Devil's advocate, perhaps such people are new to the game and are trying to gain experience.  In other words, as their experience/demand grows, so should their prices.  Other than this scenario, biko, try make am at least 10K (not that I am advocating you charge 10K, which is still too small in my books).  Have pride in what you do.  Don't adopt the Walmart/Tesco ideology because those guys are selling in bulk.  How many websites will you build for 4K for you to be able to afford anything in Nigeria?  I mean, I am not in Nigeria, but I am sure 4K won't even buy you a bag of Uncle Bens rice.

As always, my 2 cents

tell am my brother

@krs1
bros u na big boy, ah ah, i beg me 4 no mind d job oo, atleast that is 4k in 5 places, this na my num 08064963355 i beg just push d people come my side sharp sharp because rite now me dey very jobless, make i just use that one take hold body, 2day god don punish devil
