Besides being a webmaster on TottyTributes and other sites, which is a only hobby as I'm a dirty sod, I'm a graphic designer/webdesigner. So if any of you are in need of some site designs or banners let me know.

Examples of my work:

"The Daily Dirt", a forum



"Paragon Archives" - Retro/vintage site



"Paragon Past Paraphernalia" another retro/vintage site



"Bwaanaman's World" - Non-adult mostly exept for BimboLand, but build as a showcase, all parts of the site has a different design.



Banners made for "Retro Raunch"

These are done under my artist name R L Wood (which is onle an anglification of my real (Norwegian) name.

Pin-ups - colour - "What would they look like now"


Pinups - linework


Adult Comix - "Afternoon Tea at Aunt Martha's"

What are your rates for web design/hosting and business cards?

Alexis

Yes, i may also be interested in some design work , i know web design chargesdepends on content etc, do you charge per hour? per page?
Also Alexis, what agencies are you available to book on please? ;0)

I am a Norwegian free lance webdesigner/graphic designer and illustrator and do not work with the hosting end of projects. You'd be much better of getting a hosting deal directly with the provider, you'd be rid of my 10 % on the top, and I can upload any materiale to any server in the world.

I don't like set prices, and always discuss projects with potencial costumers free of charge. It has always been my filosophy that people should be able to tell me what sort of job they want me to do for them, without having to pay for telling me.

A discussion like this can be done over the phone, by e-mail or instant messangers like MSN, AOL, ICQ or Yahoo (I use them all)

The reason I like to do it this way is that prices on parts of a project can vary conciderbly. If you just want a set of business cards, you'd have to pay full price for those, if they are part of much larger job, I might throw them in for free.

All sites used as examples here are not only designed by me, but build, uploaded and maintained by me as well. Any project like that I can finish from here and upload in full working order for you, teach you how to update or update for you.

If a shop solution, pay site solution, publish system solution is needed,I will have to bring in some external help. I have conections here that can fix this easy, but it might be cheaper to do at your end and let me work with the people you choose.

I have compared my prices with companies both in US and UK and my prices are very fair. I have my studio on the first floor of the barn on my old farm, which I bought for song and a dance back in '84, before that kind of living became high fashion. So I have no office expences, no rent expences, no leggie birds to take my phone etc, so you pay for my work and nothing else.

You have mail, mate! Drop me a line when you can.

The net wasn't many days old before the first porn site saw the light of day, and we all know how large a part of Internet it is to day. But honestly, the design work on a lot of these sites is crappy.

That might have done the trick when I started up working with web design 6- 7 years ago. Surfers were happy just to find the porn in those days, but now when the net has reached puberty, if not adulthood, these surfers deserve a little more. Whether it is a paysite or a site where the owner makes his or her money through banner ads, different kind of sales or what ever, browsing that site is always a greater pleasure if the design work is up to standard.

You often hear people say: oh, designs, well I never notice such things. But the truth is that we do through the the impresion a web site, a magazine, a car, peoples clothes, what ever makes on us. that's why a well kept, clean, newly polished Austin Alegro will always look cheaper than badly kept, dirty Jaguar XJ6.

I know working both adult and regular costumers can be hard many places, but here in Scandinava where I live, that posts no problem. A job well done is a job well done. I may not tell my 92 year old aunt Ingrid that I do work for the adult industry, but showing a porn site I am perticularly happy with the design on to any of my colleagues is like showing them any other job I've done.

As I have already received several mails from people interested in prices on my design work, here are some ball park figures.

Templates and banners

Flatt gif/jpg banners:
1 banner = 50 ?
5-10 banners = 35 ? each
10 or more = 25 ? each

Animated gif banners:
1 banner = 65 ?
5-10 banners = 40 ? each
10 or more = 30 ? each

Animated Flash banners:
1 banner = 75 ?
5-10 banners = 50 ? each
10 or more = 35 ? each

Templates:
1 template = 100 ?
5-10 templates = 70 ?each
10 or more = 50 ? each

These prices are also negociable if banners and templates are ordered at the same time, or if a deal can be made on design work over a longer periode of time.

Example:
5 templates + 10 gif/jpg banners each months for let's say 4 monts.
Standard price following the list above = 4260 ?
Real price = 3200 ? - Payed in monthly instalments.

A deal going over a longer periode of time with the same items each months would make each item even cheaper.

Website designs

Designing whole websites is very hard to set standard prices on so this isn't even ball park figures more like airport figures.

Simple presentation website for firms or models
3 different sets of scetches, index page + 1 underpage
+ navigation map = 200 ?

Design from one of the scetch sets.
Index page = 150 ?
each aditional page up to 5 = 100? each
if more than 5 pages = 70 ? each
Html + ftp upload = 50

Anything more substancial than this has to discussed more thoroughly before a price can be set.

So you see this is why I like to discuss the projects with a potential cusomer. A standard list of prices seldom tells the whole truth.

In case this is of interest. I'll be going for a round trip through Poland and the eastern part of Germany with my oldest daughter's class in a few days
and will be returning next Sunday (Free lancers are so easy to ask aren't they). So please don't expect an answer to any mails before that, if it is not mailed tomorrow (my last day at home before leaving)
