How much should I charge for making a web site?

Question

Hi,

there's a company I know that needs a web site for internal use.

I already made the requirements (with the help of someone I know from inside the company) and determined that the web site would have 7 modules, each containing 3 php files on average.

Now, I'll have to do their mysql database (installation, design and optimisation) as well php code for the server side and javascript on the client side for dynamic pages.

I plan to do the look myself (html, css, photoshop edited pictures).

I also plan to provide them a specification and design document as well (for mutual understanding and to facilitate maintenance later on).

Now, I'm about to bring them a proposal (the requirement document and a pricetag for the project), but I when I do, I know that they'll probably compare whatever offer I make them against that of a couple of web development companies.

So my question is: in your estimation, how much would a web development company charge for this?

Answer 1

Well best way to charge for website
1). Hourly charges like its 12 weeks simply multply your rate with hour you spend on website.
2).Functionality of your website will be important factor
3). Technologies you have used.
like you used Mysql which is free so you dun charge bomb from them,cos you never know when they come back to you.
4).One of important factor is No. of webpages and how long you been able to satisfy their needs.
5).Maintanence ,if they ask for regular maintenace you got to consider that too.Charge them extra money for these kinda services


You can always charge for a webapplication on these basis.

hope this will solve your issues
Cheers:)

Answer 2

search the web for freelancer salaries

in Germany, a web freelancer would charge between 30 € and 60 € per hour. if you're writing just html/css code, then i guess it's around 30 €, but for complex php and database programming, you're moving towards 60 €.

but things will most likely be different in your country.

Answer 3

extimate the number of hours you need to build this, multiply by your hour-price.

here europe web companies will charge for hour-price here 50 ~ 80 - euros/ hour, freer-lancer like you 30 ~ 80 / hour.

Make sure you have on paper what you will deliver be as precise as possible.

Answer 4

but that project sounds kinda long, for about 12 weeks or so , for that I'd ask for at least 3k dlls
