We promised Ed Nacional we would never publicly release the rate but I can say that the the majority of the $5K was spent on both the brand identity and URL.
While I was going through the process of selecting a designer, I went through a very long list of portfolios and selected Ed who was an up-and-coming designer at the time. He's much more expensive today as his portfolio and design skills have matured.
refreshing to see definitive idea selection and validation stages in your process. too much of the if-you-ship-it-they-will-come ideology on hn.
does the $5k price tag factor in the value of time you and your partner spent on this project? at the minimum you had to live somewhere and eat something...
I was hoping to learn where the 5K was spent as well and looking at the level of work http://ednacional.com/ does I would bet most of that money went there.
