Good God, that logo would be $50 on Fiverr, those illustrations would be $10 each, and that landing page would be 2 hours with bootstrap. This is how you turn $500 worth of work into $45,000 worth of billing.

As a designer & developer myself, I agree, the rebranding and new bootstrap template would take a week to deliver at most for ONE person. I'd charge ~$2,000 USD for something like this (30 hours at $75/hr).

  It's not easy to find individual, most of them just disappear into a sunset: their PC died, parrot got sick, payment didn't went through, money didn't make their way to their bank account, and so on...

I doubt you could get that level of quality illustrations/logo from Fiverr, but I could be wrong. The actual page redesign, I agree - where would you recommend hiring a designer from if you don't actually know design, then?

  I got both of these on Fiverr for about $25 each - I'm very happy with both. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/donatj/StandardOtter/dd3f2781ccb11832e1c92b551b6be4674f0e42c5/Icon.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/donatj/StandardOtter/dd3f2... - https://noteof.app/logo.svg https://noteof.app/logo.svg

    Wow, those are actually great! Would you mind sending me a link to those/that designer? email in bio

    The noteof logo doesn't look like it would scale to small size very well. The gap between the top left corner of the N and the other elements seems too small.

    I was skeptical, but I have to admit that the otter one is really nice. I've hired on Upwork, and I don't find that level of quality. The original TinyPilot logo was actually from Upwork, but I paid $600.

  I’ve gotten some very good work from Fiverr lately. You have to go beyond the lowest end and find someone in the $50-100 range.

    Have any recommendations on designers?

  99designs is another option, albeit at a higher price point (but still far below OP's budget). I was very satisfied with the logo and redesign I got there. Got to see a lot of options before settling on the designer we chose.

A logo is nothing on it's own. Many agencies, like the one in the article, push a 'rebranding' that should include a brand/style guide on how to use its components, thereby justifying the price. If OP didn't receive such a guide he definitively got ripped off.
