Hey All,
Had a question for those who do design work, preferabbly freelance. DDD, Simp, im hoping you guys will help me out.
The main question is do you guys charge hourly, or as a whole? In your experience which is more appealing to the client? To me it seems like they would be happier hearing a total but sometimes the total can be a lot… so i dont know. :S
So do you just do all the math in your head (hours involved * your current hourly rate) then give a total or just charge and hourly rate from the beginning and log hours?
ON a side note. But related…
I have a friend who was approached by someone who wants a small Real-Estate listing type magazine designed. Neither she or I have any idea on what to charge for such a project. What do you guys think?
It’ll be like those magazines that you can find at the grocery stores (usually free) with all the house listings. he said it would be a monthly magazine so they would, i guess need her to design a template then just make changes on a monthly basis?
It’ll be about a 20-22 page layout including covers. And I believe SHE (the designer) will have to cnotact the real estate companies to supply their pictures and other info.
Thanks everyone I’d really appreciate any input.
