How much should I charge a company to update their website? Should I charge by the hour?

Question

I will be updating sponsor links with graphics, questionairs, registration forms etc.

Answer 1

For content updates where no change to structure or design work is done, you should charge by the hour. This should just be for adding new text or changing dates, simple stuff.

If they need a new design or and backend programming, get a design spec drawn up that both you and the client agree on and then charge a flat fee. Make the client aware that any additional features not in the design spec will incur an additional charge. The flat fee should basically be your hourly rate times how many hours you think it will take. Always add at least 10% more on for unforeseen problems.

Answer 2

I am mostly retired but charge $30/hr for computer consulting.

The more you can prove your self the better your return will be. I would suggest proposing an offer to solve their most obvious needs. Then try to get repeat business by explaining how you could help them in additional ways.

If they are impressed by your work, you may be offered a permanent position.

Answer 3

Estimate how long it will take and charge them by the hour based on the time length. The amount you charge could depend on the complexity of the project.

How lots do you think of you're worth? Then pass from there....

Answer 5

Ideally you should try to charge by number of lines in your code. But it really depends on your agreement with your clients.
