I recently got somewhat decent at creating websites, and I was just curious how much you guys would pay for to have a *decent* website created for you. By decent I mean not professionally designed, but functional and somewhat nice looking( and maybe some posting/datbatase support). Just curious ;) I was thinking somewhere around 25 bucks for the html/css and then an additional 20 for more advanced things (like posting or database support in php).
Depending on the ammount of content/pages required shouldn't be less than $100. Depending on the content, like I said. Pages with much more information should be charged accordingly (say something like $15 per page).
Adding dynamic content that users can interact with should be another deal. And you should charge more for adding that. Like galleries, databases, forms, etc,etc.
It also pretty much depends on your client. If you know it's a small bussines everyone always appreciates you don't overcharge, if it's a mid scale-large bussiness they won't care and will obviously have the ability to pay more.
This is also for MY country, where I work in. Should be more for the US, I can ask some friends I know have done a couple of web work to check how much they've charged. However if you don't know how much to charge your BEST BET is to charge per hour. Seeing that you'll most likely work at home you'll have to project a lot of trust and actually get trust from your client. You do this by creating a mmmmm (dunno the actual name in english) but it's a document where you detail your working hours (the hours you worked on the webpage) and to further increase formality keep an agreement on wether you'll send it in daily, weekly and stuff. This is all to keep things professional at the time of charging per hour of work.
I know for sure that the min wage in the U.S is somewhere around $8-9 per hour? So since this is actually more of a technical skill and not just.... work anyone can actually do you're expected to charge a bit more. So setting yourself a wage of $10-12/hour shouldn't be bad.
Say you work 8 hours a day 5 days a week and your project ends up taking like... 2 weeks (this is for a small webpage) you'll end up with 8x5x2= 80*1012, USD$800-960.
See how it's better working per hour?
Then again I have just roughly described only two methods of payment.Per package/work completed and per hour.
It also helps to further convince your client to make a portfolio of your previous work and again it's all a matter on how you project yourself that you'll be able to get your clients trust.
So 3 basic variables 1. How do I want to get paid 2. How I project myself and convince my client 3. How does my client look like.
I would consider buying into your services, but I would need to see the quality of what you do before anything else, and I'd need to know if it included custom artwork to give it it's own feel and the sort. There is a lot to consider before putting a price on it, but I'd consider around $50 if it were what I wanted. This would allow you to get better with doing it while giving me a cheaper designer :).
I just have a spot I paid for that isn't doing much and I really need to update it.

Starcraft2 mapping is an art. It is inspired by the soul and crafted from within and brought out, but not all artists have the skills to create it, which is why I need data/trigger editors. Come find me if you want to be part of something great.

40 to 60 dollars depending on the quality of the work.

Maybe $15 for the whole shebang.
