Yeah, I know there's a million of these. I have searched this community, however, and haven't found was I was looking for. So now there will be a million and one.

I will be making a site for someone soon. It's a simple site that will have graphic and text elements and that's pretty much it. I will be doing everything, from the graphics to the HTML, but find that I don't know how much to charge.

Reading through this community and other related ones on LJ, I've seen recommended price quotes that have made my eyes bug out. I know I couldn't charge that much--I'm still a student (graphic design) and don't know anything more advanced than HTML and some Dreamweaver techniques. Still, this is a paying job, and my client needs to know how much I'm charging.

I would like an hourly rate to start from. If necessary, I can then calculate a flat rate for the entire project and then something for continued maintenance. So....yeah. Any suggestions?

Also....just in case anyone happens to care....I am currently in the process of re-doing my personal site from the ground up. As such, it sucks right now. Please don't judge me :P

Thanks in advance!
