.*..* Passionate D asked:
I am planning to hire a more advanced web designer to design a custom chat system for my website and I plan to use one of the freelance websites. I need an idea on how much to offer to get this completed. I am wanting some advanced features, like private messaging to users in chat, ability to post pictures in the chat room, ability to select fonts and font colors, template system, etc. How much would you suggest I offer to get this done?

it all depends upon the site, if its a high flow site with 1500+users a day, or a low flow with maby 10-100 users.
high flow, try and find a good designer offer starts at around $250-$450. dosent like that or wants more offer $550 max. if he dosent take say “alright i will get someone else” and i will guarantee he will except.

A free basic chat script is available at. It has no (or limited) formatting, so you can develop it to your liking.
I would do your features for around 300 Euros.

Its best to use premade chat systems cost efficient, maintenance free, and why rely on your own server so you can’t have faster loading speeds.

I think the price would start at ~$1k.
My company could implement this for you.
