I am a web designer that doesn’t have enough time to code at the moment so I need to outsource a wordpress project.
Yup, you’re a designer alright. You probably have some sweet drop shadows (default lighting) and a bunch of embossed crap. And when you’re feeling really fancy you make everything glossy! You don’t have time to code? Phhh…too busy being a designer for that. You also don’t know how and are just accustomed to downloading free themes.
I need to clone a theme that looks like the following: (link to a theme that was months in development with thousands of dollars spent)
Don’t worry, I’ll just fire up Frontpage and get that finished for you. It probably only took those developers a couple minutes, so I should have it done in no time. I’ll even make sure I support Opera, Chrome, Camino, and IE 5.5 because I’m hardcore like that.
I have PSD’s of the design which differs a bit, but the functionality will remain nearly the same.
Really! Oh boy. Can I cut them up for you? Do I have to fix all the eventual png transparency issues in IE6 or can I just leave the retarded light blue box? Oh, and let’s face it. You changed some colors, but are basically just ripping off someones hard work.
Please send me a link to some online examples of your work and also give me a quote as to what it would take.
Yay. I’ll send you my portfolio so you can steal from it too. And before we discuss anyting at all I’ll just whip up a quote based on this other guys site you linked too. We won’t discuss target market, goals for the site, SEO. Nope. I’ll just throw a dart at my “quote board” and send you whatever it lands on.
Budget: $50-$500
I’m gonna be rich! I better not ask for too much because other people might under-bid me. This probably won’t take that long. Plus, my billable rate is, like, $10/hr. I think I’ll come out ahead.
Quick, I better email them back.
