Excellent site.  Awesome!  It's a relatively "simple" overall look with a
very professional approach, well written, clear, concise, great use of
space.   I enjoyed the way you showed your portfolio instead of just a "here
it is".  I'd rather imagine your clients appreciate it also.

I didn't see any rates on this site - is that what you mean?  I feel that
it's impossible to provide general rates for a true custom design job.
Personally, I just detest "add ins" like $5.00 per graphic etc.  I don't
know about the rest of you, but when I take a design job, I frequently have
very little of a clue as to what it's going to end up like.  My mission is
to provide everything the client wants and I get clues (sometimes the client
doesn't have a clue) as to what the client likes and doesn't like, the
"theme" of their business etc.  From that, I spend a lot of time thinking
and playing around with some design ideas.  So it would be impossible for me
to price something by the number of graphics, the scripts used, exact number
of pages, etc.  since all of this just happens as I see what is suitable for
meeting the client's needs.  Rather, my pricing comes from listening to the
client and getting an idea of their overall goal and my time to accomplish
that (no extra charge for all the thinking I do!).
