Hey guys, once again I wasn't really sure where the best place for this topic was, but since it didn't seem to fit in particularly well in any other place It hought I'd plump for here!

I was wondering how much you could expect to pay, typically, for a small website. I've been asked to design a few sites for some people but I'm not really sure what I should charge...

The sites are for small business and will have around 5-10 pages. Nothing fancy, probably just HTML and CSS.

What do you recon? I know this is all very vague, but that's about all I can say about them lol!

Thanks

5-10 pages can be around $100.

That's pretty reasonable actually. Anyone else care to share charges they've come across or make a suggestion?

Well I guess its up to you. If its a small website I wouldn't charge to much.

Depending on the Design you want ands some intricacies.

I figured all that would make a difference. But what's a good starting figure? massacre281, you said not too much - but I don't know how much too much is, I don;t really have a perspective, other than the $100 suggested in the first reply.

Sorry I forgot I already posted.

Figure out how much you need to make each year doing it, divide it by the number of hours you want to work, and that'll give you an hourly rate to charge. Then figure out for each website how long you think it'll take you and multiply it by 1.5. That should be your quote for how much you charge for each particular website. Don't give a set price for all websites because each one will be different and require a different time investment based on what your client wants.

I would charge about 1000 dolors, but that's me.

**wchua24** · 06-13-2008, 01:07 PM

actually it depends on the content of the site...the design...everything counts and of course the better it looks the greater the cost...

I design (no coding) for about 200 per layout. Depending on who it's for, and the actual budget of the person.

A design + its coding would be reasonable at around 400. Something as large as 10 pages could go up to 600 or even 700 depending on the actual layout.

If they have the design, and you are just coding it, then it'd be around 300-400.
