[QUOTE="War Golem, post: 38264, member: 142"] Hi MaxKaladin, You really need more information. There are so many questions one needs to address before you can even begin to get down to numbers. I'm a corporate webmaster, not a freelancer, so the following isn't entirely from personal experience, but rather my impression of how the freelance market works. First question is ALWAYS - Why do you want a web site? What is it's purpose? What is it meant to accomplish? Is it just a page with a contact information (telephone, address), an online brochure, a database of products, an e-commerce store, etc. My personal inclination would be to charge a flat rate for designing a web site, based on a thorough interview of what they truly want/need, but even if you charge by the hour, knowing how involved a site they need should help you estimate the required hours better. Plus, don't forget the issues of maintaining and updating the site after the initial design and creation. How often will the site be updated? How quickly? Are you expected to be at their beck an call to update the site on a daily basis, or just once a week, once a month, etc. I'll throw out some numbers, but they are just my educated guess: Simple site, few pages, all or mostly HTML: $300-600 Extensive site, many pages, all or mostly HTML: $1000-1500 Medium site, ASP and/or database, and/or e-commerce: $1000-$3000 Large site, complex, extensive programming: $3000-$10000 These numbers might be low, I'm not sure, In any case, for all sites, add more if you are also doing graphic design work for their images. For maintenance and updates, the per hour fee is probably the way to go, $40-60/hr for HTML work, $60-$100+ for programming. Hope this helps. Prices are always negotiable, of course. Just be careful not to get sucked in to agreeing to design a site for a flat fee without clearly defining up front the terms of what you are expected to deliver. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
