Introduction: I am a a journalism student who works as a freelance web and graphic designer.
I provide services for a flat rate of $100 for graphic design or $250 for website design.
I don't think people should pay incredible amounts of money in order to have a website. I receive payment only when work is completed.
No trick is involved. If you like the website, you pay for it. If you don't like the website, I just thank you for your interest.
