it's quite cheap for this large amount of polish. $300 bucks is less than a day's wage for a good engineer, but a good engineer would need to spend at least a week to polish bespoke stuff to this level. So therefore, it's worth the price tag.

Plenty of us 'good engineers' aren't anywhere near that proficient in frontend either. I can build great backend systems, that's where my interest lies. I can't do CSS like this even with months.
