"there is very little correlation between price and quality".

to a point. While design can often have a rang of price there can be a clear difference between paying some one a living wage and not. This number can vary international but it's good to know what is considered a professional wage abroad.

Also price can have a high correlation to experience. More experience is good if you care about the details but many rather stay cheap.

the design field is changing and there is a lot of price fluctuation and it can be hard as a company to gauge if a company is worth the price. But to say there is little correlation is a little misleading.
