i'm kinda in the same situation crusty, my boss would say don't touch anything under $1000us.

I agree with Bryan but you have to know your stuff if you charge good $. I paid a person 20 bucks US per hour for the hessian aggression web site and did all of the graphics and layout for her. She had to make our ideas work and had several good ideas of her own too. Total cost was only about 400 US for her work. She went to school on it to learn new things and did not charge for time spent learning.

I'm glad you guys said that... I was about to do a website for a guy for $200 US!

thanks for the info guys

I think ill reply to his email 1st, and just tell him that im no professional (like i dont know about all the PHP and stuff like that)

But if he still wants me to do it, ill tell him ill charge less than a profesional company

Gropes · January 9th, 2002, 06:10 AM

i would say go for it and make him pay as much as you want for it

bryan · January 9th, 2002, 05:50 PM

just ask for a price thats way higher than what you'd accept for doing it, you can always go down

Hey crusty if ya need and tech ####, i'll do it. I make my sites for everyone basically free.

I usually just get a shirt or some stickers or something. No more free sites tho, for a site, $300 AUS.

crustyfmx250 · January 10th, 2002, 02:09 AM

I think Ill email the guy, and find out what stae hes in, and if hes in the same as me, ill get him to build me jumps in exchange for the site

If you shop around, the industry standard rate for competent, experienced web design with no foo foo like shopping carts and stuff like that goes for $39/hr US. A bit higher and lower for normal competitive rate type stuff. That is what we have found after doing a LOT of shopping around.

Its no that hard

If you have an idea, then get to work, your site layout can be done in 5 minutes. I did my new one (crusty go on MSN I wanna show you it!) in about 30 mins, and its fairly clean and I like it, thinking of an idea is the hard part.

Just do it yourself.
