While some people, especially small companies in the west (like Norway) will at first glance see this as a great opportunity to get some real cheap work done to make a quick buck it defies work ethics, I agree.As an example I develop a webshop and CMS system, and it&#039;s kinda strange competing against templates from template monster and such sites like this. Many customers gets the feeling that a good website is worth $50 - $100 bucks. Combine that with joomla or zen cart and you may build your empire on $100! Heck, my hourly fee is $100. Usually $100 bucks in our country is not even enough to make me acquainted with the customer - not to say being able to create a complete website and understanding what the customer needs or want... Surely there are countries where $100 goes much further, but I suspect this is not usually the case.It&#039;s like pissing in your pants to keep warm using theese services.Such sites like this undermine the great effort many people put into CSS, javascript and graphics in general. We are mostly (I believe) professionals and hobby enthusiasts in here - building a brand or business from sites like this is really the wrong way to go.Anyone in here fancy making a website or logo, and if you are lucky you might earn $150?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2 sides of the coin I guess&#8230; While some people, especially small companies in the west (like Norway) will at first glance see this as a great opportunity to get some real cheap work done to make a quick buck it defies work ethics, I agree.</p><p>As an example I develop a webshop and CMS system, and it&#8217;s kinda strange competing against templates from template monster and such sites like this.
