I can’t imagine hiring a blog designer until after blogging for at least 3 months.

I think finding a great free wordpress theme that you like, with a personalized picture or perhaps a stock photo or something from the creative commons licensed stuff at flickr makes the best sense until you’ve been blogging for a while.

David- thanks for that addition.

Chris – it really depends on the designer and the scope of the project. I’d say the price range is probably a couple hundred to several thousand.

Nice guide, Randa.

I think that 5 days before receiving a reply might be too long, however. At the very least I’d respond to the potential client within two days, letting them know that I’ve received their enquiry, and that I’ll get back to them within a certain timeframe with more detail.

Hope all’s well.
