If the OP pic is what you are looking for then that is more of a platform than a deck and shouldn't cost more than $100-$200 from a professional builder.

Hahaha it's gonna cost a hell of a lot more than that. The builder is going to bid at least 200 in materials alone

I did one. cannot post pics for reasons. Tips?
well, you need proper tools. A good circular saw and a miter saw. A long level. Twine and measuring tape, the type that you can unwind manually.

Spend TONS of time squaring the corners with the twine and the tape. At least a full day should be spent marking the corners at the proper location. A square deck saves TONS of grief and and time.

as for pricing, a 12x16' deck came in around 2K in materials. No fancy composite boards, just pretreated wood all around. I did it myself, but figure that a contractor usually charges at least as much as the materials in labor.
