Without insulting any designer by low balling them or getting ripped off by paying too high, what is a decent price to offer someone to design a logo and skin from scratch? It's gotten to the point where I can't rely on anyone if you don't show them any compensation.
I'm seriously looking for a designer who is creative, have experience and is willing to share ideas to help my site achieve the look that I want. If anyone on here can meet those criterias please let me know.
