Well I was wondering about designing sites professionally for others. I would design sites for people with specific wants by hand coding it, but for the not too 'choosy' people, I was wondering if it was ok to use pre made templates from other sites. Yep thats all I need to know.<br />
<br />
Oh also, does anyone know how much you'd usually charge for that sort of service?<!--content-->Originally posted by jollyfactory <br />

I see no problem using templates from other sites, especially if you will be customizing them for your customers. <br />
<br />
There is no standard pricing for setting up websites. Charge what you are willing to work for. Check what other independent web designers are charging. <br />
