				 | That's because you're a fool and so is anyone else who would actually pay: Standard package #1 includes logo for web, splash page, 1 tour, join page - 1 creative concept, 6 hours of revisions ?1,400 $2,199 $2,199 for a tour page and a join page.      |

				 | Right because it's foolish to pay someone well for doing a good job. It's also foolish to try to find the best design you can for your website. It's also foolish to be able to afford to pay for premium services. So, I guess that all makes some of the most successful people in the biz fools, right?

 In the four years I worked for Webinc we had a large number of customers coming back and ordering packages time and time again. If they are 'fools' as you say then surely they would have been foolish once rather than come back and pay the same price over and over if the sites didn't convert and earn that back for them. | |

				 | Never said THEY were fools. THEY obviously aren't the fools. I know plenty of guys that can do a 1 page + join for a few hundred bucks at the exact same quality as anything there. There's NO WAY that a 1 page tour and a join page is worth $2,200. WyldeSites charges $2,500 for a package and it includes 4 tour pages , 6 banners and basic members area and he is far better than they are. 100% rip off prices at webinc. |

				 | so, 11 posts and nearly half on of them in this thread..who are you really then and why such a gripe against Webinc? Also, I knew who you were calling fools and I was explaining that if a client was a fool to pay that amount they would certainly not come back and pay it again if the design didn't convert for them and therefore was worth it. |

				 | If you think that's too much to pay for a good design, then here's something that will really blow your mind. I used to be a project manager for a design company, and we had at least one client who would pay us the full rate for a design and then have two or three other companies working on designs for the same site at the same time. VERY big company as well, but fools, I suppose.

 Stop trying to bring the value of adult design down because you are a bitter tool. Let me guess you got fired by Webinc. or burned by them in the past? Like seriously lets hear it Because $2,500 for a tour from WebInc. is not absurd.

				 | The big problem is with Webinc is that they didn't adjust. Years ago they were one of the best design companies and people paid for the expensive designs without a problem. Year after year more design companies came online offering similar or in some cases better work for half the price. And besides that Webinc kept making designs like they did in 2001. Well times change and tour designs completely changed...they didn't. So basically they are charging 2001 prices for 2001 designs in 2008. You don't need to be an Einstein to know that doesn't work. I mentioned this several times and always the same people told me i'm an idiot. The Webinc fan from 2001 who has been with them forever and simply won't let them down and the Webinc sales rep who will tell you there's a reason why they are so expensive. Basically everybody else understand what im talking about. |

				 | Ok Dirty_F show us examples to back up what your saying.   Give us urls from 2001 to compare to what they have done recently. Hell their is really no point because design is all subjective and personal opinion.. I will show you designs from Dickman's who I am told is #1 right now. They too have projects that are very recent but look dated. In 2001 times were obviously different. They had a lot less competition.. Hell Webinc. has been around since what 1995? Why should they lower their prices? Why should they change how they do business? You want to work with WebInc. you pay for it. There's a 1000x reasons why you would choose 1 company over another.

 But even that is based on a lot of factors... I still wanted to see examples of what he was referring to.. My point was that arguing over design companies how much they charge the quality of the work etc is pointless because it's all subject to too many factors.. I'd love to see stats comparing various tours on the same site tho.. I know lots of the larger companies have many tours designed for one site..

				 | They didnt get up to date and better converting designs were being made by companies all over the place but they ignored it. Its not strange or anything. Its something which you see happening a lot of top companies. They thought nobody can touch us. We dont have to change a thing. |

				 | This another thread where people say soem designers are over priced? LOL, good designers charge what they are worth. Outsourced 3rd world weekend warrior retards need not apply when it comes to skilled designers. WebInc has fucken skill's and only a small handful of guys really know what they are doing when it coems to adult oriented design. Its not something anyone can do. What others do may look like tour and when someone that knows what they are doing it is a tour. There is no comparison.

				 | 2001 - Webinc maybe? So fucking what? Right now theyre behind and overpriced. I dont give a shit about the past. People will keep ordering there because they were pioneers back then. Its dumb. Webinc is for noobs. Its for starting companies who have a budget and think they need to spend 1000's on a tour to make something work. Clueless. Webinc is all artsy shit. Sure the designs look nice in an art kind of way...nice colors and shit but they also look very outdated and i dont see how their designs would sell anything better than...whatever other company. Not at all. |

 You go on with that thought  Fact is people pay those prices and they do so willingly. "Better" and cheaper designers are not a matter to be concerned with appearently. I have kept my prices the same for years more or less and business is still constant. To some people I am over priced and to others it's just fine! So you figure it out! One thing I have noticed though is that the guys that want something on the cheap and fast tend to be more problematic than they are worth! Often I turn away those sort of business proposals. SO it's better to keep prices within a range just to keep bottom feeders away. And thats a fact to. Maybe that's the idea for some designers prices it works for me and it must work for WebInc as well and Wylde...

				 | Ok, i just clicked a random example on their site.  http://www.kreadult.com/portfolio/pa.../tokyo-slaves/ This page together with a sign up page probably cost like 1000 dollars right? I wouldnt use it for free. And i mean it. Its totally chaotic. The color hurt your eyes. Its messy. The red links are a horrible choice on the black background etc. The areas left free for content are way too small to sell anything. The only thing that grabs your attention (in a bad way) when you visit that page are the colors which make you want to close it again. I'm pretty goddamn sure i could whip up a similar page in frontpage where i focus on the actual content instead of an all artsy design and convert 10x better than that tour. |
