The old saying to freelancers goes something like this:

"You wouldn't walk into a supermarket, and when the total comes to $200, you only pay $50, so why try do it to freelancers?"

Maybe it wasn't the best example, but hopefully you get the point.

That's why I am only asking for those who are interested on my offer. My client's can't afford $1000 over dollars design for now.

I don't mean to offend anyone

Nice site Fusion Design, I will take note of your developments.

This is his thread and you shouldn't be commenting on it. If his idea is as bad as you all say, no one will take him up on it.

Please reply only if you are interested. I don't mind comments/flames, your advices are well appreciated.

I am looking for designers who can work on a long term basis rather than just one shot off.


Thank you.

You get what you paid for. I guess not-very-well-done work is what you want. Am I right? I'm right aren't i?

Yep, but for starters, I can't pay premium prices. Hence, I started this thread.

I'm all for you looking for kids to build portfolios and whatnot,
You think your'e doing good for kiddies, go for it.

The title makes me laugh.
You want people who are 'damn good' in design and coding.
Yet, you want to pay lowball prices?
Obviously you don't want people who are 'damn good'.


I'm a student, and I'm building my portfolio by working with real clients, making real money daily.

You want to lowball to youths? Go to schools, not freelancers.

Haha, congrats. Wish your aunt and the baby all the best from me

Ok, unr, thanks for your advice. I thought there are some kids who are interested to try out freelancing.

I guess its time to close this topic.

Thanks anyway guys.
