Website design price? Freelance sites?

Question

Freelance

Hey!
There is a task to file a tender for the development of a website design (a large portal, with elements of a social network). The terms of reference are well developed, detailed prototypes in Figma are available + a project manager to communicate with the designer.
I would like to try to place a tender on freelance sites, but unfortunately there is no such experience. There are a few key questions:
Where do cool designers hang out?
On which freelance sites to look for designers with a "good level"? The question is based on the fact that there are places where it is cheaper, worse and where freelancers are more expensive, but with a different level.
Design price?
The most difficult question is how much does website design development cost today? If you focus on a good level of designer. Let's say the design of the main page, the design of internal pages? It is clear that the price is somewhere between a "bottle of beer" and Tyoma Lebedev's studio, but if you are familiar with the price range, please share.
Tender?
If you have experience in placing tenders for website design, please share what pitfalls can be? How much to open a tender for the design of the main page of the portal?
Thank you!

Answer 1

As always on the Toaster, there is a lot of farting, and no one can say anything about the specifics, although everything is simple.
https://freelansim.ru , https://upwork.com
Home + internal pages + adaptive (2-3 resolutions) + post-support = from 40k rubles. per month You can find such a price for such quality. But most likely they will ask from 60-70k rubles. per month.
Do you mean dis-competition? There are several sites for contests on the Internet, for example https://99designs.com. There are also Russian platforms. But I will only speak for "99" - there are several "packages" to choose from in each category of design, including web design, from cheap - which few performers will fall for, and their quality will be low, to expensive - everyone will flock to such a competition , there will be a lot of choice, including among several very strong designers (and even those who speak Russian, and if not, the admins will help you communicate, plus a translator for the TK is built into the engine). Web design there can cost about $ 1-2k, which is actually a penny for the amount of various works that the contestants will send you.

Answer 2

It is clear that the price is somewhere between a "bottle of beer" and Tyoma Lebedev's studio

If the project is more or less serious, contact the studio. Not necessarily Lebedev.

Answer 3

On which freelance sites to look for designers with a "good level"?

everyone has it, on the same https://freelansim.ru
Site site strife. Here it is not so much the cost of the designer, but the amount of work. Let the designers evaluate, why are you asking this question? How are you supposed to know?
with a contract. Or show a prototype, so that you and I would not discuss the air, but talk about specific things.

Answer 4

A normal designer will not fight for orders on freelance exchanges. None.
Because a good designer has a queue of regular customers (studios, through the site they turn to, according to recommendations).
The price for the main is about 22-40 (if there are no illustrations, characters), internal from 3 to infinity, within reasonable limits of course))) Or from 75 to 150 tr per month (depending on the region, experience).
I recommend watching behans, sorted by Russia, and IMPORTANT - DO NOT BE BELIEVED by beautiful pictures. See that these are live sites with links in the portfolio.
