does anyone know what are avergae fees for designing a graphic interface for a software (on freelance basis and maybe as part of the staff also)?
The program sells in a range of $50-100
The job may involve just redesigning current icons and buttons but it may grow to a full interface redesign.
It would more than likely involve just concept developemnt and creating of actual graphics but would not probably go into mechanics of the programming (I mean using any type of program that actually creates the interface on the programming level) Just to compare though if you could throw in this number also, that would've been great.
I'm trying to figure out what that range would be though. It's a job tracking and billing software, sort of like quicken, quickbooks and those but not on a such a large scale. it doesn't go into accounting and finances as deep as the ones above but at the same time it helps to manage jobs
It's far too hard to quote a price for the job without understanding the scale of it. I would just calculate it on an hourly wage. Logos, icons etc take time, I would work for $25/hour....so based on the size of the project you can work from that.
Lets say it takes you a week, working 5 hours per day. That would be $25 x 5 = $125 and then $125 x 7 = $875.
Personally I'd go in for a share of profits, or at least ask it. Then for cost if that's not an option abuot £25 a day or so. Its not as if Graphics is strenuous and if you make it too expensive they'll just do it themselves. Personally, as somebody who doesn't do graphics, I have learnt a lot about it and I get what I want when I do it purely because its far too expensive to get somebody else to do it. If it were cheaper - I wouldn't know the first thing. You do afterall want to keep Graphic Designers down to a minimum to keep the prices up, but don't go overboard or you'll make it inpractical.
That isn't mad at all. Without graphic designers where would the Internet/applications be? £15/hour really isn't much when you take the full project into perspective. Rule of thumb, never work by the day or the project because scale of difficulty/time varies to much.
I could earn £15/hour doing telemarketing in an office, £5/hour in a supermarket in my town. You're seriously telling me that he should work for £25/day? That is peanuts!
£15/hour is VERY reasonable - it's my absolute minimum and I usually charge (and get) a lot more than this. A project this week paid me $150/hour, though this is pretty high I had no qualms about charging it and the client was very happy with the work completed.
£25/day is ridiculous!
You get what you pay for in this life and if you pay peanuts and you should expect to get a monkey!
