I just hired a designer from Dribbble to do logo, illustration and homepage. $400 logo, $900 for illustration and $1200 for homepage design. The work was good, but not perfect. Luckily I am an experienced web designer so I am able to work with what I got. The main problem was that the designer I hired was really good at illustrations, but not as experienced with web design. The price worked for me because I used 99 designs as a bench mark for cost, found a designer I liked on Dribbble and his quote was within a couple of hundred dollars of 99 designs.<p>edit: grammar
It depends what work you're doing and for whom you're doing it. This is a pretty good talk about pricing design work [1]. This is also why a lot of companies have a "Contact Us" enterprise pricing. You might have 2 different companies using the same product in the same way but paying a 10x difference. They're doing value based pricing and different companies value different things at different rates.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKXZ7t_RiOE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKXZ7t_RiOE</a>
How much do you already have decided and available in terms of assets like logo,symbols,icons, colors, fonts, style guides?
