I am keen to have a custom-made theme/skin for my board which would be exclusive to us and I am willing to pay for it. I know there are some experienced ZetaBoards skinners here so I thought it would be great to get your opinions on a fair price to offer.

The skin would be created using colours similar to the ones on the current theme we are using. I would also like the skinner to produce the following images for the board to match the theme that they create:

  • Miscellaneous Images (only the Navigational Marker image, Goto Top, Report Post, Forward PM, Events Icon, Stats Icon, Active Users Icon, Expand, Collapse)
  • Forum Icons (excluding Redirect Forum image and Trash Can)
  • Post Buttons (all six images)
  • Post View Icons (all needed)
  • Topic Icons (no images needed)
  • Warn System Images (no images needed)
  • Extra Images (1-3 Main Header Banner image(s), 20 Forum Description images, see example on the index of my board )

I would like the theme and theme images to be of high quality and I know this is possible because I have seen some amazing skins out there.

Your opinions on a fair price to offer for the above would go much appreciated.

A note: I won't be good enough for this theme, so I shall not take it on...

BUT: If I remember correctly, Shifty used to sell his themes for around $70; i do not know how accurate that is in comparison to how others sold their themes, but he is the only example that I know of.

And on another note, Outline used a token system to pay for themes - other forums may offer the same sort of service, even if Outline doesn't anymore.

I remember Tue used to sell his skins for $35 to $50 or so. So expect a price range of $50 to $100 maybe for a top quality theme. It depends on how generous the skinner is feeling mostly as to what they will make at what price.

Thanks for the advice, Billamen.

I ended up agreeing a top end price with a top skinner so I'm sure it will be top quality :D

Currently being created.
