I dunno, I think web stuff is about $80-120 an hour from what I have heard for small projects. SInce you know them though (two degrees of seperation) that might make it a little lower. That’s how I would approach it.

Depends who set up the hosting, how long it took, etc. Looks good I like the wipe left transition you did. Good work.

$1,500 sounds about right to me.

$1500 would be $80/hr x about 20 hours. So yeah thats not too bad or far off.

great …so most people charge like $80/hour for work…regardless of flash? photoshop stuff?
hosting would be all additional charges?

dude, that is a $1,000 - $2,000 site. theres 4 of them apparently, so make them pay, thats the sickest flash site i’ve seen in awhile. think about it, $1,000 bucks. thats only $250 for each of them. i’m so sick of amatuer looking flash sites that take forever to load. thank you for breaking the cycle and not making my eyes hurt.

how much work are you getting? if not that many charge less to get more clients. for that site i would say $1200 to $1500 or less. How long did you actually take to do it.

hmm…it probably took me about 40 hours - to come up with the design, making adjustments to the photos and then the actual construction of the site

[color=black][font=Arial]I like your site too.[/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Arial]I wonder how the prices are in Canada. In North PA it’s really bad right now and $80-120/hr …just to dream about.[/font][/color]

for Worm - the pictures were all retouched and edited in photoshop - then I saved themm as jpegs - save for web - trying to keep the file as small as possible without wrecking the picture
