Alex, no offense, but do you think you’re ready to be charging people for design jobs? When I started out designing, I was doing stuff for free just to get my name out there.

It depends on your skills. If you are top notch then you can charge more, if you are mediocre then you would want to charge less.

I charge about $25-50 per page.

For setting up a message-board I charge an extra $50

Guestbook- extra $25

Flash Intro- depends on the amount of time put into it. i would say about $25-75.

Thats what I used to charge. I charge slightly more now. 🙂

I charged almost nothing… but the new site I’m making with my cousin is for a celeb, so THAT we’ll charge for…

but, start out slow, get a reputation… 😉

Well, what i did at first was charge very little for a whole site. Everything. I did my best work and got my name out, and now, with every client, I up the price, until I can get a set price laid out for each and every client.
