Maybe I shouldn't participate in this discussion, since I'm not a Design Team member, but I must agree wit Anne.
This prices are similar to those on Worth1000 or SitePoint(99designs.com) and the difference is that on that sites anybody can participate and here we have designers that proof they skills and therefore become members of the team. I think that the quality of work here is much higher.

How do you guys determine how much clients should be paying for websites and Flash? There's such a huge range in size and complexity when it comes to those things. If you have guidelines for those things, they should be posted along with the price. (If not, then maybe you guys should focus on creating some guidelines before determining price. There seems to be a lack of transparency here.)

Please see my post below Anne's. Those are not the new prices; they are precisely the prices that we plan to change.

We discussed this in a related DTM Only thread a while back. You can view it in the DTM Only forum. As the person responsible for the new prices at the time, I decided that, since we had no way of dynamically generating prices based on the details a CH provides, there would simply be a limit on the complexity of the projects. It would be stated below the prices that the amounts indicated are for projects that adhere to a certain level of simplicity. In the future, it seems that we may be able to determine prices dynamically after all, so that's probably what we will do

That's great news!

Ah well, at least the DTMs who may have missed it before will see it.

Since I'm new here, the adjustment in the prizes is a welcome development. But I would agree with the earlier posts that the amount is not at par with the industry standard. Nevertheless, I'm positive that this will change as the quality of our work increase, and the number of competition multiplies. Hopefully, it'll happen soon.
