ok, I’m about to get my first serious job designing some IT recruiting company’s site (boring!!!) and I just realized I have no idea what/how to charge for it. I’m starting so I wanna be a little cheaper than usual but I don’t wanna sound too cheap either.
Also would wanna know how you usually get paid? Should I ask for some $$ upfront? How should I bill the client?
I realize it depends on how many pages, what kind of features, etc… But that’s exactly the kind of thing I need to know: a reasonable billing system…
Any advice, link?
Thx guys!!!
