How much to charge for creating a site

Hi,

(I had no idea which section to put this in...)

I'm creating a site for a fashion designer, nothing too fancy. A few pages to display her past and current work, and a contact details page.

I've never done anything like this for anyone before so I was wondering how much to charge? Any rough figures?

Thanks

Hmmm ... you might want to read this Pricing a Project

It's mostly going to depend if you're charging by the hour or by the project. so ... like 30$US / hour or projects start at something like 300$ and go up depending on the complexity of the project (admin panel, contact form, etc....)

It's pretty basic, and i'm after the experience too, so I reckon £100-£120 should be about right.


Thanks for the link.

Ok, Jim...here's how it's done.
1. Put a fair value on the work you do....
To figure this consider what do I know, what do I need to learn, is there research required, special design needs,
what is the client providing, what am I providing
2. Decide if it will be per hour of work or total Project....
Once you have figured out #1 you can then design the best way to charge. Easy site for example might be better as flat rate because you know it will only take X amount of work. More complicated sites should be per hour because of additional work or research required.
3. Make sure you get it in writing!!!!
This should be signed by you and the client.
4. Be very professional in all your dealing with your client...word gets around very quickly.

Thanks again sannbe.

I have gone with the flat figure of £100 pounds for this job. As it is small and fairly uncomplicated.
