I picked up a client in the US, who were not happy with their old web
developer, and we are taking over the project.
Our position in the market place is
1) providing a quality service, and
2) not charging the client an arm and a leg. Sure, we need to make a profit
(and will, we work on quite a few projects at once) but I have no clue how
much US web developers charge per hour on average. We dont have an hourly
rate as we usually fix prices and start from scratch.
There is a HUGE amount of work to be done, lots of nasty half finished ends
to pick up and sort out, the only possible way to fairly quote the client is
by giving him an hourly rate.
In summary, I would like to offer a US client a fair, normal and common
hourly rate to fix up an ecommerce web site which contains all the usual
scripting/database and flash stuff. Im not entirely sure what to charge
though, for both of the reasons mentioned above.
So, what is the going rate in the USofA with regards to hourly rates.
Not the most expensive
Not the cowboys
Not the bedroom programmers...
Just the average going rate, a fair days work for a fair days pay.
