It really depends on a lot of things. Will it be a bunch of static pages or will there be lots of dynamic content? Will it include an e-commerce section or not? Will they need a database?
A few static pages would run a couple hundred.
Sites with dynamic content, databases, lots of server-side code, shopping cart would run into the thousands.

Are you doing this for a favour or as a commercial job?
If a favour work out something with your brother, but if commercial then work out what the lowest you can afford to charge, and the quote above that.
Work out how much you need to earn a day to make a living and base it on that. Nobody could argue with your charges then.
If someone undercuts you then and they get the job, you're better not having the job anyway and earning more elsewhere.

The previous replies are on the mark. You really need to assess their goals.
Are you sure what they want something you can deliver within your skills? It's better to back away rather than disappoint your brother and his co-workers greatly.
Do the right thing.

ask for a piece of the company and go on board and get in on the gound floor and turn it into more than what looks like he wants to take you out to lunch or something
