Hope someone can help me here.
I'm new to web design, although I work as an application developer, so I'm fairly technically capable
I have become involved with an Association in my local village which is run by all the local businesses. They currently have a website which is in a real mess. Totally out of date info, messy, hard to manage etc.
I have been asked if I will set them up a new site. Due to the kind of things they want on it, I am thinking of usin Joomla. I've set up a test site and am comfortable with setting up and managing a Joomla install. I plan on using Sobi2 component for the business listings.
So for those of you who do this kind of thing as a living, and maintain sites like this, how much do you charge for your services? I've been told the last guy was paid to look after the site and for setting it up, so I'm assuming I would be as well. This would only involve evening/weekend work as it'd be an extra bit of work "on the side" so to speak.
I can't sell myself as an experience wed developer, because I'm not, but I'm well aware that Joomla is designed to be very powerful without the need to have a mass of web development knowledge, so I might get round that one
Any advice would be great
Thanks
