If its just really simple
i dont charge a lot..
but if it took me a long time to design it,
then i have to increase the price.

Here is my cost count...

Electricity bill + Skills/Designs + %30 = Total

Thanks.

why would you charge someone for your monthly electric bill? you're not on the clock 24/7. why not charge them for your food bill too?

tacking on 30% should cover your overhead like electricity/internet/phone/etc.

GEE WIZ!! Want to pick up my truck paynote while you at it?? Geez... I don't even want to know or even think about what your prices are if you right off the bat add overhead bills to the design work.

...just asking...so if I decided to ...let's say ... ask you to make me ONE emoticon for my forum? You gong to charge me your lightbill ...the quality of your work and then 30% on top of it?

I might want to rethink your pricing plan while you're at it.

...just putting in my 2 cents.

hourly + 30% is a good pricing strategy for a full design process, but the bill doesn't make much sense.

Deviant Designer, it's his pricing strategy, not yours, so calm the frick down.

See how much simiular o yours would sell find the avrage, see if it meets your overheds or anything that you want to include particulary in the pricing and go with it.

Wow I usually charge around $20-$40 for a full site design. But than again, that maybe because I haven't really worked for any big companies or anything. :?

  Old  my way

i dont really know about the rest of the world but to me i use the standered fee rule
(a full time jobs pay/day in work/hours per day)x1.5= freelance work fee
for here it ends up:
($1,200 US/24/8)x1.5=$9.375
and then i use what i call experience boost
(freelance work fee) x (1+(number of previous jobs/100))= current rate
so for example i have had 80 jobs lets say:
(49.375)x(1+(80/100))=$16.875
thats how i do it currently here in Palestine where the minium wage is about $1US/hour and i am still a student that is in college and i work out of my apartment. in the end it works for me so i think every one must find there own way and the more experience the better

Either work by paying per hour or per project, personally, per project is the best in my opinion.
