First i need to photoshop (8-10 hours work)
then slice the parts and do some minors adjustments (2-4 hours)
then i need to do the hardest part making the xhtml, css code and php/mysql (20-30 hours)

so if you pay a person 50$ for it you are just laughing in his face. the problem these day's are that the ki9ds don’t care if they only get 50$ for it. to bad but well young guy's are happy with less.

but you take the professional graphic market down. i know you are not doping this alone but 10.000's company's are doing this. and i'm not getting a job because of it.

So piss off and get your portfolio site somewhere else. buy one a template monsters!
and wy do you want a portfolio site? if you can make graphics you can also make a site for yourself... or does it take to long?

even if you are a special person.... we don’t care........



I hope this explains it a bit why ritwikr got that pissed. And he is right. Luckily there are more persons that see this problem.
