First of all, I really thank You for the answer. I can accept Your point, but there are some things which should be cleared. 1.) I was asking what market area I should reach. 2.) I was also asking for the average price depending on the country You are living in. 3.) As I already told You, I have no problems with Wordpress and Divi, they are good softwares, but You can't go below a price for a well-designed Wordpress site, either. And if it takes about a month, You will have to charge mimimum 800 USD, independently of the country You live in. 4.) I've been in this sector (internet, computers, operating systems, mutimedia, graphic design, etc.) for 15 years, and I belong to the younger generation. (If everything is included, my years at the university, university courses abroad, 2 foreign languages that I can speak (and write) perfectly.) I already installed OS/2 Warp on the IBM Aptiva computers on partitioned disks to test it when I was in the 2nd grade (of the six) in the high school, so in some areas I have a quite good knowledge. Though I've learned programming at different universities, I don't consider myself a professional programmer, and I'm rather interested in the design and the artistic part of it (multimedia). According to what You say, it doesn't have a future (regarding the market and the people willing to invest money into their companies). This is really disappointing, because as I told You, I have all the technical requirements needed to create excellent sites. Adobe Muse is a quite good tool to design sophisticated sites in it, but I can also apply the best widgets that can be integrated, and which work seamlessly with the site. It doesn't matter if it is in JAVA or PHP, both can be done via Muse widgets. If it is required, I can attach the whole page to a fully functional CMS that can be extended with other functions, such as database, etc. So, the problem is not what I am working in, bacause it just makes easier my work. If somebody makes web content with Wordpress and Divi, it can also be made quite well, but not in 5 days, because if that is the case, then there is something seriously wrong about it, and I can't take this type of work. For the simple reason, because it can't be made properly in such a short time. So, if You think I should stand in the line of cheap and fast designers, then I'm sure You're wrong. There are about 20 who advertise cheap and fast (and most of them don't function properly - it doesn't matter whether it is Wordpress or Drupal). This way I can't create quality content, can't really make developments in my own work, and to tell the truth, if there are pennies in it, it is really not worth to deal with it (and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't consider money in the 1st place). If that would be the case, no one would use better Muse or premium 3rd Party Wordpress plugins, etc. Nobody would have news streams, news sites, high quality animations, and there are websites on the net from 10.000 USD to really big sums. According to what You say there is no need to fulfill higher graphical, multimedia, vide demands. I doubt it, because there has to be. My question was what kind of advertising, optimization, client-searching method is needed for this. I've heard of individuals and companies which had above 5000-10000 USD orders, and that must be true. Please, take a look at these pages: For example in Hungary: www.oander.hu www.sikermarketing.hu in Germany: 360° Online-Marketing ★ Internetagentur even in Spain most of the companies make a presentation site for 1000 Euro (which consists of 5 pages) Agencia de inbound Marketing y Comunicación en Malaga: iMeelZ And not only agencies, but individuals can create very serious web-content, too. I - and most specialists - wouldn't like to compete with WIX, because most people know whether it is enough for them, or not. In this leauge it is not worth to compete. I would have another question. Which country are You located in? Of course, if You don't want to tell me, You don't have to. I'm asking this because if You are in Central or Eastern Europe, then people can't or don't want to pay more for professional sites. Post-communist countries tend to have a much lower solvency than for example countries in Western Europe, the US or the Far-East. Unfortunately that is the case, and besides a couple of companies, people don't want to invest into bigger projects or better appearance. But then, please, don't project it to most of the countries. It wasn't very reassuring what You said, and yes, I've already had more serious work as I told You. It is as much as saying that there is no need for Adobe Muse, no need for professional programs, no need for better visualization, no need for superb animations or individual design. I'll tell You an example: there are a lot of confectioneries in our country, but only 5 percent or 10 percent is quite good and has a good quality. Why, because for 1 USD You can't offer superb cakes or desserts, just supplementary materials can be added for this price, for example vegetable butter instead of real butter, vegatable whipping cream instead of real whipping cream, low quality jams instead of real marmalade. For 2 or 3 USD, You can do that. And in the last 10-15 years people have got fed up with this rubbish, and those providing better quality and a better choice, managed to get more customers, and they are profitable. Of course, they managed to target those areas which can pay more for their products. This would be my case, too. I would also like to target the circle of clients mentioned above. The internet is of basic importance nowadays, there has to be a lot of segments which would require quality web content.
