How to Set a Price for Web Design Work?

Before you quote a price for your website, you need to take a few things into consideration.

• What is the project?
 • How many pages will need to be created?
 • Are there images and/or design that need to be used, or will they be created as part of the project?
 • Is there content for the site, or will that be written by the designer?
 • Will there be any Flash, multimedia, programming or scripting required?

Depending on the answer to those questions you may raise your prices.
• When do your clients want the project completed?
The more urgent a project is, the more you can generally charge. But be sure that if you agree to an accelerated schedule, that it's one you can meet.

• How much experience do you have?
The more Web design experience you have, the more you can charge, and the more your clients will expect to pay.

• How much long-term maintenance is required?
As a Web designer, you should make sure that your clients have sufficient knowledge for website maintenance. If they expect you or your company to cover it, you should probably get a separate contract for that aspect of the job.

• What is the going rate?
This can often be difficult to determine. The best way is to talk to other designers in your area.
