Re: [WSG] About the standard Price for our website design (THREAD CLOSED)

[Chris Stratford]

I didn't think there would be a problem discussing this issue... I was actually quite interested in seeing how you all charge your clients and on what basis. Sometimes I charge a flat fee - kind of a contract. Say - $3000 and I set it all up from start to finish. But two days ago I scored my first per/hour job. Since I am still a student, not even studying anything related to WebDev (Im doign Telecommunications Eng.) Im only charging $30 p/h... Its a very simple website - nothign major, no need for a CMS engine etc... But yeah. Sorry if we aren't meant to discuss this. I thought its appropriate. - Chris Stratford www.neester.com http://images.neester.com David McDonald wrote: This discussion may be OK or not in certain countries, but it doesn't have much to with web standards.

There's a huge difference between discussing what goes into setting a price or expressing opinion on what is a valid price, and collusion. Besides, even if a few designers/developers try to fix prices, it won't work; there's too much competition.
