I have a web site I created for the movie theatre I manage. The site is database driven and the pages are in PHP. This is all stuff I learned on my own for the sake of creating this site. My boss has already indicated to me that I can package and sell the site to other theatres if any are interested.
Because the basic structure is already created, I would pretty much just be reusing the same files modified for other clients. I'm just curious to know how you would bundle and sell the site.
As it stands, the site has a customer side which includes a schedule page, a coming soon page, an interface for users to rate movies, an interface for users to suggest/request movies, and a mailing list with automated sign-up.
And there is an administration side which includes an interface for inputing movies, time, show dates, an interface for sending out the newsletter, and a variety of reports.

If the buyer wanted to include images from the movies, that would require regular maintenance in the for of locating, formatting, uploading, and inputting images.
I figure I could offer this as an optional monthly service. Or I could include the training necessary to teach a new user how to do all of this.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts here. One note: I would rather sell it as a package deal rather than at an hourly rate. And what would be a reasonable price for the monthly service of providing images?
When it comes to graphics for the site, would it be better to price on everything being just text and any image/graphic creation extra or should some graphic creation be included.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The images are not an issue because theatres are automatically licensed to use the images for the promotion of the movies.

Id wager you could sell that package for a grand or two a piece and hear no complaints.

Charge by the day or by the hour. Where are you? If you are in the US then you could charge something like $45 to $65 per hour, if you are a stand alone web master.
If it's simple updating then charging by the hour should work for you.

As others have said, change by the hour.
You also need to remember to account for your costs. Images from movies, for example, are protected by copyright. So you need to secure the rights to use them for your client.
