Hi all,

 

I have recently ventured into the world of web design. I recently got my first paid job. I only use Joomla as my platform, and have very average HTML and CSS skills. I would love to get some feedback regarding my pricing/process.

 

The website will be a fairly basic 3-5 page 'brochure' site with some extra bells and whistles, which I've listed below. Also, I'm installing and configuring a pre-made template from a template portal (as I'm not confident enough to construct a custom template). There is really no hand coded parts of the website whatsoever, but does involve a relatively fair amount of tinkering.

 

I'm going to include the following components in the site:

(They are external addons which are not included with Joomla)

 

- A Slideshow (widgetkit tool from http://www.yootheme.com)

- A Blog (http://www.yootheme.com)

- A Forum (http://www.kunena.org)

- A logo that I'm going to create in illustrator.

 

I've initially quoted £645 which I've broken down as follows:

 

- 3-5 page 'brochure' website configuration - including Joomla install = £275

- Blog install/config = £120

- Forum install/config = £200

- Logo design = £50

- Total = £645.

 

I'm also willing to give support and Joomla training for free for a short period. My client has no idea of web design prices or even design concepts, but I'm really trying to be fair with my pricing, can anyone out there share some thoughts?

 

The more in-depth you can be, the better!

 

Thanks in advance!

Without seeing your work, its hard to judge. What I would do if i were you, I'd think about my hourly rate, then think about how long it will take you, the X x Y = £

Congratulations
