hadoob024 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I couldn't figure out which might be the appropriate forum for this topic, so I'm going to post it here. I've been asked to make a site similar to the following: http://www.shehnaibridalshow.com/ They asked me how much I want to make the site, and I couldn't figure it out, so I thought I would post it here. How much would you charge this person to make a similar site?

Barand Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I moved this to Misc. forum as you won't get replies to a post in Freelancing. Also you are not advertising your services nor looking for a developer, which is the purpose of that forum. As for the price, you have to estimate how long it going to take you to produce the site and multiply that by how much you feel your time is worth Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94720-how-much-would-you-charge-to-make-this-site/#findComment-487376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsider Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Like Barand said, give us an estimate of how long it will take YOU, and what you might be doing to recreate something like this. Then we can give a more accurate price. We'd only be speculating now.

Stooney Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Charge 1337 Kill yourself. As for pricing, I came across this pdf randomly earlier today. Maybe it can help. http://www.sessions.edu/career_center/design_tools/freelance_templates/download/pdf_form/web_marketing_price_guide.pdf Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94720-how-much-would-you-charge-to-make-this-site/#findComment-487540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadoob024 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well, I figure it'll take about a week to do (doing it on the side of my main day job). 3/4 of the pages are just static HTML, so those will be quick. Then there's like 3 PHP form pages (including 1 to handle payment processing). So yeah, I would guess about a week or so.

Stooney Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well how much do you consider your time to be worth? You said a week, let's assume 4 hours a day for a week. That's 28 hours of work. Now say you code for $50/hr. 28*50=total Some people do it the other way around, they decide on an overall total for the project, then divide it by the time it takes and that's the hourly rate they're charging.

hadoob024 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yeah, I guess I'm having a hard part determining. Don't know whether to quote a flat price for the project, or give them an hourly rate with an estimation of how long it will take. I'm leaning towards the hourly rate so that if they want new stuff or keep changing their minds regarding what they want, I'm still charging them. I dunno though.

Barand Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I usually estimate the cost and the quote a fixed price for the work. Any changes or extras after that are charged per hour.

hadoob024 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hmmm... Makes sense. Do you charge more for changes or extras, or do you base it on the hourly rate you charge for project itself?

Barand Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 As I estimate originally on my hourly rate then it's the same. Occasionaly a client has asked for something really urgent that means working well into the night - then it's extra (double time past midnight) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94720-how-much-would-you-charge-to-make-this-site/#findComment-487953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
