Hi,
I've done a bunch of small-scale web projects for folks in the area,
and they all seem to be very impressed with the interactivity and
ease-of-use of their new websites/web apps. PHP is truly amazing when
it comes to quickly and reliably whipping up a site/app.
However, thanks to the word-of-mouth, a bigger job has plopped onto my
lap and I don't know how much to charge the client. I've never charged
more than $400-500 for a custom site or app (insert, delete, update
capabilities, CSS, 2-3 database-driven lists, some pdf polygraphic
materials, etc, a couple of months of hosting on my server).
I don't feel like charging per hour because sometimes I can blow
through the entire backend in a couple hours, but sometimes a CSS kink
gives sends me working into the night. I'm looking for a quote PER
PROJECT.
Here's the requirements for this new project:
- A website for a one-person small company (local musical artist,
decently successful, able to make a living from gigs, American Midwest)
- All pages COMPLETELY data-driven (updateable with forms, not with
phpMyAdmin :)
- A couple of 150+ item interactive data lists on two separate pages
(songs and covers)
- Contact form that emails queries to a given email address
- Some sort of a mailing list (manage fan accounts, create mass emails
about future gigs)
- Small blog - owner WILL NOT put in any raw html tags, so there needs
to be a WordPress-like WYSIWYG text editor
- Interactive calendar (insert, delete, update events, bulk
edit/delete, dates with events uniquely highlighted, clickable dates)
- Front page is an aggregate of newest blog entries, newest song
additions, newly added gigs, etc.
- Ease-of-use is an absolute MUST
- Transfer of hosting/domain from her Frontpage-building "friend" who
did her site for free
- 3-5 email accounts
Though I have a good idea of how everything should be done, I don't
know what I should charge this person!
Thanks!
