Hi people,

today here are some useful informations about me. As many of you know I am doing CSS layouts from time to time and there is a bunch of free stuff in my gallery, too. Quite regularly I receive notes from other users with requests and questions concerning CSS. That is fine with me and I always help the people if I can. But I will be honest with you. I am tired of those questions like "Can you do a CSS for me?"

Good work has its Prize

Still about 80% of the people who want me to make something for them expect me to do it for NOTHING!!! Some at least ask me what it would cost to make a CSS or suggest an art trade or something but the majority wants to benefit from my skills and don't intend to give me something in return (except credits or journal features). What do you think how much of spare time do I have? If I would accept all the requests there wouldn't be any time for ANYthing else in my life including earning money for a living. So name me one good reason why I should do a valuable job at no charge?

So please do me a favour and don't ask me for your own personal CSS layout when you can't afford it. Since I started programming and designing I have learned a lot and improved my skills and knowledge. I think learning so much in a long time is worth of an appropriate payment. Otherwise I feel ripped off and that's not a good feeling behind an honorable thought of help.

You can commission me

For all people who still wants an exclusive design done by me - this is what I charge:

The minimum prize for a layout is 100 Euros!

Yeah, that sounds much but it isn't. Have you EVER thought about of how time I deal with one layout from the start with the graphics until a journal is up and faultless running??? A lot of service for the client is included, too. So compared on the efforts on every layout and compared to the prizes on the Graphic Design market 100 Euro is a gift!!! Period.

All old request that are still open will be done as agreed.
