Hi I have been asked to do a redesign, the client initially started the site and then decided to pass it over to a designer, the site currently has around 50-70 pages (with the same number to be added again), the thing is althought it has quite a lot of pages most have just a couple of photos and text, which is already added. Therefore in effect I would be creating the design which will be then used over and over again across the 100-140 pages. Whilst I of course want to be fair to the client, I don't want to undercut myself by charging the same as I would for a one page site My question is, how much would you charge, for a custom designed template, which in effect is what it would be? Thanks in Advance Dee
Okay after doing a bit of research (I am UK based), a custom designed template can be between £350-£400, does this sound acceptable? I am used to normally doing full sites or eccomerce additions, therefore a custom template has me a little
If The site have 50-70 pages, You will charge it something arround £400 Coz I think, This is a lot of work
Your price seems right. Just think of how many hours you'll need for the job multiply it by your hourly rate and add a 100 or so.
wow! looking at this thread the prices I have been charging have been way too low, thanks for the info
What sort of fucked up pricing scheme is that? Hourly rate is hourly rate, if my customers found out I'd been adding a hundred or so for no reason they'd leave me in a heartbeat And if the content is already there for you then there is not alot of work in actually populating a website. I just populated a 60ish page website in under 2 hours using a content management system, which he should be using in a project this bit As for pricing, it depends on your experience and what you think is fair, if thats £400 then quote that, although it depends how fussy the client is and how complex the design is. I can kick out custom Wordpress themes from as low as £250, up to £750+ depending on the complexity and number of revisions. If you're quoting for a full job, specifiy the number of revisions in design available first, otherwise you can easily over-work yourself (whilst having to stick to the quote) if the customer keeps changing their minds
How many days work is that then? Three? I wouldn't give that much attention to detail for that price, but there you go.
Hi Well personally I don't and never would add anything on top (i.e £100), I change the client only for the work done, so if it takes 10 hours for example, I will charge for 10 hours. Although I tend not to charge by the hour, I prefer to charge per project, my clients seem to much prefer this as this way they get the price upfront (of course they are made aware any additional work will be charge accordingly), and therefore ain't shocked at the end. I remember talking to someone a few years back and they had initially been quoted £1000, and they stated whilst they did request additional work, the designer would say yes that's not a problem, but never stated it would increase the price, so when they were billed for £5000 at the end it was obviously a huge shock, and caused a lot of arguments. Thanks for your advise Dee
