- cost for website and pdf - newbie help please
- Posted by Robin Goodfellow on August 25th, 2003
I know that this question cant really be answered and people don't really
like to say how much they charge but I was hoping for a rough idea. I was
asked by a friend of a friend to make a website for his company, a small
site, with about 16 pages. I had to add pictures for about 12 products
including a page description for each. I also have to set up his domain and
webspace, though he will be paying for them himself.
In addition to this I also converted his 50 page brochure to PDF so that it
can be downloaded from the website.
I have no idea what I should charge him at all but the site is simple but it
is quite professional looking (I think anyway!!) He has also asked me to
put this onto CD for him, if all goes well he wants 100 copies for an
exhibition that he is going to in a couple of weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Look at it this way, would you have someone paint your house...and just bill
you later, without having any clue what they are going to charge you?
Since you already did the work, and apparently did not have a written or
verbal agreement. You pretty much should just ask the friend how much he's
willing to pay you...and be happy with it. Anything else is just asking for
problems, and possibly lost friendship, in my opinion.

a URL would be a useful addition to your post.
Don't forget to charge for management/consultancy time/effort.
what is 'professional looking'?
time and materials then. in the absense of a contract you can charge the
moon and the client can laugh/spit in your face. somewhere between those
extremes is a figure acceptable to both.

I was just looking for a rough price, thats all. Would £150 be too much?

The only person who can answer that is your client.

Only you know the answer to that.
What are your expenses?
How many hours did it take?
What's a reasonable hourly rate?
How much do you need to make per week to pay your bills?
How much would you like to put in the bank and your retirement account?
etc.

would charge £300 - £400 easily - it'll take you a lot of a day to just
burn the 100 disks, unless u have specialist equipment...

To me that seems a bit on the cheap side for all the work you have
done, but as others have already said, it depends on what your client
is willing to pay. Personally I would "up the charge" a bit and see if
your client will pay it first, then come down until you reach a
mutually agreed price.

happy to stand corrected on the issue - I have to say it did seem rather
daft, but nonetheless believable as so much legislation falls into that
category.

That's not what lawyers say which is why you will see companies issuing
guidelines telling their employees never to discuss pricing with competitors
when at any kind of industry function or meeting.
