I have my first real client and I’m not sure what to charge as far as price for a Web site. It’s a basic 5 page static HTML site(has rollover buttons for navigation and some pop-up windows that show product discriptions)…anybody have any ball park figures? I would appreciate any advice anyone has to share. Thanks ---

i personally charge by the hour. And this is what i do… (im giving away trade secrets… well not really…) I ussually get the required information, what they want, how much they are willing to spend etc… I ussually charge by the hour, of about 60 for design, which includes the design and implementation of content etc… then i make a template for them, ussualy a few, have them pick… then when they know what they want, i have them sign a contract saying this is what i want and i wont change my mind (beleive me do this!!) . then when you discuss the finall price etc… you finish the project and they get their product. now in the prices dept… i think depending on what they want, you can change them. for example for some sites i charge 15 sometimes 10 bucks an hour depending on what they need what they have and my time. its all up to you, but rememeber be fair, and they’ll love you. =) ---
