I'm looking to hire a freelance web designer to create me a site, or the basic frame work.
It will be a small site to showcase photography and video work.
I'm looking for something that I can update myself.How much should I expect to spend?
- JamesEngage0
bad answer to have but it really depends on what do you want... do you want a bespoke tool that for users to go through your work? or a simple forward back thumbnail type thing

For a professional site I would expect to spend up to 8-10K. Especially if you want to showcase your work in flash or video on the web. That should include hosting costs as well.

Dang that is alot. But I do understand that you get what you pay for.
I'm looking for a simple interface that shows thumbnails of the photos and video clips on the left, then on the right in a big window it displays my work.

Did someone call my name?
Yeah defender, I would cost out the design of your site, I don't do developement, but can go as far as preparing all the files, templates and whatnot. And I work with lot's of different web devs. so we should be able to work something out. Shoot me an email and I'll review the details tonight, if you want.

8-10k for that? damn.
- mr_snuggles0
Yeah, that's a little high I think for what defender is trying to accomplish. I was thinking more along the lines of a case of Olde English 800 and a carton of menthols, but hey, who am I to judge.

I was going to offer to do it for free but I don't want to piss on Snuggle's menthols ;)
- JamesEngage0
you kind of have already now really!
- mrdobolina0
what he wants to do wouldnt be difficult at all.

I'd do it for 10% that price.

Word is that Luckypp throws in certain 'extras' if you know what I mean ;)
