Totally agree as well. Some of the smallest # of page websites have been some of the largest regarding man-hours spent because of new technologies used, e-commerce, and so on.

Providing set prices hurts both you and the client. If the price is too low, the scope of the project gets shortened on your end (meaning lower quality work) or you end up working for free after you run out of billable time. If the price is too high you lose potential clients that could be small, “fill in the gap” work that you could pick up while waiting for larger projects to come through from other clients. In fact, I’ve even seen some clients that were turned off by prices that were too low because it gives the impression that the designer is less capable.

Don’t pigeon-hole yourself by setting prices on your website. Leave yourself open to view the entire scope of potential projects before offering a cost.

Great advice for young designers. Thank you for the post. The only thing I don’t agree with is having a set price. I like to be more flexible in pricing jobs. I like to set the price according to the specifics of the deliverables. There are to many variables to have a set price on your site. You’ll back your self into a corner if you do.

Definitely think keeping your work updated is important and also adding some of your own personality to your portfolio site too if you can.
