Hey. I was just wondering what a good price is for a web design. I recently designed a site for someone and they loved it but being fresh out of school and all, and this being my first marketable design I'm not too sure of a good price to put on it. The site comes with one page completed, a CSS, and I'm going to throw in a bunch of graphics to help the use design the other pages.
They get full rights to it, after I hand it over all I would like is to keep a link to their site in my portfolio.

thx

$500 is cheap. $10,000 is expensive. And $3,000 is very fair.

i know it cant be that much. I'm only spending about 2 days on it tops.

Heres the URL can i get another quote?

please dont comment about this and that needing touch up. The banner arm is going to blend when i'm done and the clip of the month logo and its frame is going to be fixed as well as more graphics will be added. I just dont want to spend more time on it until it goes through, "if" it goes through.

is this person a freind of yours? That price listing is pretty acuurate. But it all depends whats added to the site and how intricate your getting with it. Im assuming no Flash is involved since being right out of school and all, but who am i to judge that, thats jsut my assumption. if its pretty basic why not charge around 500-600 dollars and charge an hourly rate of $20 an hour for updating and maintainance

link I said I will only be working on it for a total of 2 days and it isn't too intricate. I said $200 for a toal of about 15 hours or so... just 1 page completed some graphics and a CSS and full copyrights. Isn't that a fair price?

oh yea thats very fair haha too fair but thats up to you how much you want to charge.. keep hourly rate for maintainance in mind if you'll be the one doing the updating
