I just made $500 for 2 hours of work.

[Whomp]

I really do love my job, just designed a site from scratch on Wix in two hours, customer provides pictures and text content I drag it around and make lots of money. It's a good life.

woodtailors | ******** - the site I made (still need to host it and complete the SEO)

[To Give You This Gun]

>site from scratch

Choose one. The two are mutually exclusive. Seriously speaking.

and lol I honestly don't understand how you made $500 from building a low-end site using Wix. I think you've struck gold on this deal.

btw, SEO probably will be more difficult considering you're using Wix.

Here, im going to tip you off on something since you seem to already have a good threshold on this stuff. HTML/HTML5/CSS/JS/jQuery/Ajax/PHP.

They're your friends. Use them. Now.

[Artificial]

Never used Wix, but if you want to do this seriously you at least need to:

Remove the Wix branding.
Purchase a domain.

I have to admit, I only looked at it for about 15 seconds, but considering it uses Ajax/JS for all of the inner links/page loads, it could be difficult to SEO it. Either way, congratulations

[Whomp]

I use DreamWeaver for higher end projects, this was a simple site, with a specific niche, I was able to produce it a lot faster using Wix. The hosting and Wix branding will go once I upgrade the Wix account most likely tomorrow.

And actually I get a lot of people looking for low-end websites that can afford $500 so this can be quite common for me, completing a site in 2 hours however is mildly impressive. When working on higher end projects I'll invest my time and effort into them because the money will be there.

I've starting to think this guy is paid by Wix to advertise for them.

Seriously. 100% of topics I've seen this guy post in are advertising Wix. Not just mentioning it. Advertising it.

Seriously.

Am I the only one?

It just seems too obvious now.

"GUYS I MADE SO MUCH MONEY USING THIS TOOL. [LINK]"

It's not even a reasonable thing to use. Any web develop would laugh in your face for using it (and did last time it was advertised). Making that much for such little work with such shitty a tool is not the norm.

This screams paid advertisement.

Lol, I wish they paid me. But no, I like there service and I've been satisfied with what can be done with it. If I'm making money easily online I'm pretty sure people in here would be interested on how I do it. I'll eventually compact all the methods down into a list for LG but until then I'll either post a thread about once a week (and no not all my posts are advertising Wix) or start having a life and not bother with this site anymore.

I don't think that anyone actually cares about those devs of yours, it's working out for him actually so he really is thee winner here, the job that would take people with CSS HTML , HTML 5 And ajax 5 days is done in 3 hours, wtf, there is no argument to that.

Bedsides he also tried to help people on lg to make money, but they are just too lazy and don't want, so he's in a better position to tell.

Your a disgrace to use programmers/designers that work Hard making a website. And you site back on your Wysiwyg website/flash builder and make $200. You make me sick. I work my ass off and you make it seem easy for anyone.

I don't make anything seem easy, it just is easy. You choose trk your ass off, I choose to make money on my own time, it's a personal preference, nothing to get your panties twisted up about. And Wix is actually now on a HTML5 platform as well, Flash websites are to much effort for me, surprisingly they take a lot more effort and don't look half as good.

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. With that ideology, we'd never progress. While I've never used Wix (and don't really like using those sort of systems), if it meets the needs of the customer, why not? There's no point unnecessarily building a site from scratch if the client doesn't want it.

To be honest, $500 is chump change for most companies. I charge around $1700-2000 for a custom Drupal website (subtract a few hundred dollars I pay to the designer), and it takes me around 8 hours to build. I charge around $500 to modify a template PSD and throw it in Wordpress, and that takes me 3-4 hours. Should I be crucified because I know my way around these systems?

I'd be just as quickly as crucified, I thought 2 hours was relatively fast for any drag-and-drop design program, and $500 really is quite minimal for the gig. I could of designed the site on Wordpress and it wouldn't look nearly as nice yet I would of probably gotten a lot more positive feedback, either way I'm satisfied with the project and the client is hiring me to do photography at $50 an hour as well as hiring me to design two more additional websites, one of them being a 2 grand project. On a more direct note, would the community support the idea of me writing a 30 day plan to start an internet career or would you just poop on every method that I use to earn money?

Lol Skrillex, that's ironic considering you use VB, which has an integrated WYSIWYG editor and is technically considered a RAD programming language. RAD stands for Rapid Application Development. Meaning you're pretty much in the same boat he's in, except he actually makes money from what he does.

I agree with what Artificial said. I'm not demoralizing the guy for using those tools, I'm simply telling him that there's potentially more effective solutions out there. Because he used something to speed up the development process of a given task doesn't give you (and especially you) the right to bash him.

lolwhat? A HTML and CSS job takes you 5 days?
What world of absurd hyperbole is this? No HTML/CSS job should take you more than 5 hours. And the benefit thereof includes a smaller file size/less bandwidth cost, DOM optimization, and SEO -- all of which will get you paid exponentially more than any pagebuilder.

Bedsides he also tried to help people on lg to make money, but they are just too lazy and don't want, so he's in a better position to tell.

If you want to make money, you don't use pagebuilders. His statement is an outlier at best and a lie at worst.

Either way, by the same token your WYSIWYG statement still applies to you. You're complaining because you supposedly put hard work into designing web pages. I'm complaining because I put work into coding. Same difference. Don't be a hypocrite.

Can you make websites in VB? That sounds... like... something that shouldn't make websites.

Technically, yea. CGI. It would be ill-advised to do so though. And fyi, in my opinion VB shouldn't be making anything.
