May 28, 200917 yr Iv just completed a website for a company of which contains the following: - editied images [7 in total] - coding - w3c validated and cross browser compatible - probably about 30 pages altogether. I was wondering how much i should charge? i must add i did not design it, i only coded and re-did images and placed content They already have hosting/domain names and already im designing a new site which i also need advice with. it will have: -w3c validated + cross browser compatible - about 30 pages -PHP script to dynamically change the image sets on reload -HTML + CSS -Flash Animated Banners How much should i charge seperatly for that? Thanks in advance.
May 28, 200917 yr Are all the pages the same HTML template? I would charge £100 for the template and £25 - £50 per page depending on how complicated they are.
May 28, 200917 yr A while ago, someone posted a link to a nice article concerning this topic, I can't find the link anymore... The abridged version goes something like this: You have to base you rates on realworld considerations. How much do you want to make annually, what kind of expenses are you going to have, how many hours are you going to work annually with subtractions of holidays and hours you have to spend on administrative tasks, research and schooling? If you then divide the income and expenses by your work hours you get a realistic hourly rate which you can justify.

May 29, 200917 yr You've already done the job without giving them a quote?What if they say no!?! Charge them by the hour if your unsure. I was thinking the same thing myself. Unless they told you cost is not an issue then you should really quote them before you do anything
May 29, 200917 yr I agree, always get quote before you begin! What if they now say that their budget is about £50 and you've spent hours upon hours developing their site
May 30, 200917 yr I think you should have a look at the time spent first of all, and then put that down besides the or tasks you did. If you are are a 'newbie', charge around £15-£25 per hour. Once your portfolio has come along, and the work you do is getting better, charge a bit more. But I'd have to agree with the others, always agree a price up-front, and if possible, as for a deposit to avoid getting taking for a ride.
