Thank gawd Xmas is over for another year, much more time feeding and I think I would have popped!
:D My high metabolism has it's advantages! lol
Rates really do depend on not only the work being undertaken but also on your skill level and the costs of other freelancers!
Straight XHTML and CSS for simple sites the usual range is £10-£20 depending on skill level, maybe more if you can get away with it!
PHP / MySQL probably more like £20-£40 per hour again depending on skill level.
Graphics and design again depends on skill level but £15-£30 is pretty usual.
Whenever you quote for work ask yourself two questions.
How much do I want this work?
How much do I need this work?
Thanks for that. Indeed, each job should be treated on an individual basis, makes accounting and cash flow a nightmare. :rolleyes:
If you need work then it is likely you will tailor your quote down in the hope it will be accepted, if you really want the work then the same is often true! The real gutter however is that you often don't get these jobs but do get the jobs you really don't want and have quoted on the high side to help put the client off!! There is a lesson to be learnt there somewhere :confused:
Can anyone tell me what the going rate for web design work, based on charging hourly please?
Do you charge different rates for different types of work? I.e. XHTAML/CSS, PHP/mySQL coding, graphics etc...
If you don't charge by the hour, how do you charge? And why?
TIA
