How much /hour?

Im being given a job - just wondering how much i should charge.

$12 sound ok? Or too little? Im a good designer.

I think you would need to elaborate more on what the job is and so on.......

 

well if you are really good you should charge more if your skill is needed

 

If you are a professional & good designer then i wish you to extend your rates upto $15

 

Just to put it into perspective - $15 is approx £7.50... Unskilled person can earn that much just working in McDonalds.

 

I think you sound unprofessional, so I think it's more than you deserve

 

A good designer doesnot work below 20$

You would be lucky to find a real designer charge under $60, and $60 is laughable to most designers.

 

Do your research:

- Compare your portfolio with other designers. See if they're better than you or not. If they are lower your price, otherwise raise it.

- See what satisfies your conditions. Are you willing to work for less if the buyer can't really afford it? Perhaps you really need the job and you're willing to negotiate.

 

Congras lolage.....I guess that you got work of 9 hours, but rather confused with the rates...

It all depends on the functionality and also the time limit.
Means rate is inversely proportional to time.

 

Pfft here (Australia) they're lucky to get $10 an hour, which is around $6 USD, or 3 pounds.

And I bet 90% of these "real" designers aren't worth half of that.

It's all about value. If their site makes them $1000, then if you charge $100 total, you're good value for money and people will hire you. If you charge $500 and the site makes $500, then you're not good value for money, and people will regret hiring you. So don't ask yourself "how good do my designs look", ask yourself "how well do they sell".

To put it in another context: you go to a fancy restaurant. The food is great, the service is A+. You pay $30 for a burger and have no problem with it. Would you pay $30 for a burget from McDonalds? It's not that a burger from Maccas is bad (arguably) its just not worth $30. No-one is worth their hourly rate unless the provide value for it. I'd rather pay someone $30/hr than $10/hr if they can show how even though they cost more upfront, they'll provide a better ROI than the cheaper guy, and in the end make me more money (which after all, is why I'm in business)

 

$12 is too low.
Now the price for a single non animated banner already cost $20.
I do suggest you charge per hour.
Such as $10/hour

 

Just take the first job. Then raise your price every subsequent job you take from other people so you can build a portfolio.

Then when people stop hiring you you're probably too high
