Creating a skin for vBulletin

[MaestroX]

Wow G.X.Tournaments, you are providing a cheap service

I was going to say that in another thread where he quoted $25 for a custom skin

My custom skins go for around the same price as you unenergizer. People sometimes underestimate the price of custom work as vbulletin is only $130.

That style fits it's theme perfectly. Most of the time, thats all anyone every needs. Looks great. I would suggest replacing all of the original vBulletin graphics. I only say this because, the default vBulletin graphics look bland in my eyes. However, it's an all around perfect skin.

My normal price is $40, depending on the mood I guess .

Edit: Thanks, yea on my forum (where it was then shown) all the GFX had been changed but where I took the screen shots it was on my 'design' forum where I don't bother so much as buttons and what not .

Exactly. Most people don't realize how much work and effort is put into these custom designs. Although I understand that most people would not know this. Though, if you are wanting something professional, you have to pay the "professional" prices.

Yea that's very true...

Indeed I couldn't agree more.

Thank you all for the great dialogue. I am one of those people you were talking about that does not understand what goes into designs, skins, etc. You all seem knowledgable so here is the question:

What would be the general cost to design my site's skin/logo and site design that involves moving stuff around?

Thanks,

Jeff

In general I would charge from $200 USD for that but I assess each project on a case by case scenerio.

There is no solid "charge", it differs from each designer and each design.

Thank you all. This has helped to guide me on how I want to approach my site. My biggest thoughts/concerns for what I am looking for are:

1) Finding an honest, capable designer, and at the right price to do all the things I need

2) Finding someone I can turn to for projects as I keep evolving my site and someone I can bounce ideas off of. My hope is one day I will be BIG enough to bring the person I am working with in-house to work with me full-time.

Thanks,

Jeff
