Higher or lower?
- tehwebguy 6y agoDepends entirely on who you hire and how much you let them know about your budget. I am confident that I saw a HN post years ago that mentioned Sandwich starts at $250k but again client work is almost always very negotiable.
- andy_ppp 6y agoWow, it’s good but $250k is a shedload of cash, you could hire 3 people in this field for a year for that (certainly in London). They could do all your training material too...

- robenkleene 6y agoThe FAQ answer that says $200k should probably be authoritative, but... I'm just guessing Sandwich is actually surprisingly flexible about budgeting. They do have a series where they shot three videos at three different budget levels ($1k, $10k, $100k) for the same product (https://sandwich.co/clients/wistia/ https://sandwich.co/clients/wistia/). Take from that what you will...
