Hi there i have been asked to setup and develope a joomla site plus teach the client how to use joomla, basically there asking how much i am going to charge . I have never been asked to do this before and i am wondering weather to charge per hour or just a one off fee, what would you recomend ?

I would think about a one off fee, that included the install, template development, and x numbers of hours training at the clients base.

 

Then provide them with a hourly rate for support after that initial session, and a hourly rate for "development" time as well.

I expect it may also depend on what the purpose of the site is, what aspect of joomla are they utillising?

 

If its the user-management, and they intend on having a few 1000 users, you could be on the phone every day. If, however they are simply wanting to update some content once a month, it should be less troublesome for you!

 

Im sure others will disagree - horses for courses to a certain extent.
