Sites like aspin or hotscripts.com
Hi all,
i don't know whether this is is good place to post my post or not.if this is not good area please let me know where should i put it.I hope moderator will move my post to that area.
Any way i am asked to create a script search site just like hotscripts or aspin or other scripts sites. Except that some more extra features will be added.and i don't know what will be those extra features.
Now, my problem is about pricing. this sounds ridiculous but i m very confusing about price.can any one of you suggest me to how much i quote for this kind of site.how much exactly i should ask for him?
Thank you

are you asking how much you should sell php scripts for? If you ask me or almost anyone on this board, the answer would be nothing. Don't get me wrong, I know full well how much time and effort goes into creating a lot of the things that make php happen, but I also know that if I dig deep enough or use my own creativity, I can find them or make them happen on my own.
if you're asking how to set the site up so that the scripts are searchable/indexable, then we can certainly help...

Do not say 'Yes' until you know what those extras are. They can be ideas in marketing peoples heads and thus impossible to makehelloyaar wrote:i don't know what will be those extra features.
Do you have a feature list? What excactly is required on the site? If you have, then
Code: Select all
message_by_djot($feature_list);muahahaha :)
Code: Select all
message by djot($wage, $array_feature_list, $tax_percent)
{
foreach ($array_feature_list AS $feature)
{
$total_amount = $total_amount + ($feature['hours_for_item'] * $wage);
}
$total_amount = $total_amount * ((100+$tax_percent)/100);
return $total_amount;
}Making it slightly more realistic 
Then you can "be nice" and give them a discount from this rate 
Code: Select all
generate_quote($wage, $array_feature_list, $tax_percent,$requirements_creep=2, $overhead=10)
{
foreach ($array_feature_list AS $feature)
{
$total_amount = $total_amount + ($feature['hours_for_item']*requirements_creep * $wage);
}
$total_amount = $total_amount * ((100+$tax_percent+$overhead)/100);
return $total_amount;
}Isn't OOP required at all?
Well, sometime I really have to study this.
Code: Select all
<?php
class muahahaha{
private $wage;
private $array_feature_list;
private $tax_percent;
private $overhead;
private $amount;
public function __construct($w, $a, $t, $o){
$this->wage=$w;
$this->array_feature_list=$a;
$this->tax_percent=$t;
$this->overhead=$o;
$this->amount=0;
}
public function message_by_djot(){
foreach ($this->array_feature_list as $feature){
$this->amount += $feature['hours_for_item'] * $this->wage * $feature['sweat_factor'];
}
$this->amount=$this->amount * ((100+$this->tax_percent+$this->overhead)/100);
}
public function reveal_pricing(){
print number_format($this->amount, 2, ',',' ');
}
}
$feature_list=array();
$feature_list[]=array('name'=>'search', 'hours_for_item'=>5, 'sweat_factor'=>1.3);
$feature_list[]=array('name'=>'database', 'hours_for_item'=>4, 'sweat_factor'=>0.9);
$feature_list[]=array('name'=>'impossible_task_for_marketing_people', 'hours_for_item'=>75, 'sweat_factor'=>8);
$wage=20;
$tax=22;
$overhead=10;
$work_at_hand= new muahahaha($wage, $feature_list, $tax, $overhead);
$work_at_hand->message_by_djot();
$work_at_hand->reveal_pricing();
?>Thank you but
Thank you all for your responses.
Well, i don't know how much it will take time to complete this project.But i expect not more than one month it will take. Within one month i will complete it. Since i m working from my home it will not be per hour basis.I just want to know approximately how much should i say to the client to complete this site.
About features, i don't care what feature will be added. So don't think about it.Just suggest me how much i should quote him to creat that site
I am not selling my php script to anyone. I am creating a site just like hotscripts.com. I hope next reply i will get will be in $ format. Thank you.
Sorry for my english

Well, you can't ask for a number that undifferentiated.
How hard it would be to create the site?
How much knowledge is needed to code all features?
Who else could do it for which amount of money?
What should be your personal 'benefit'?
Do you want to be paid for selling a product or just for working one month?
Why don't you give the project to me? I know what amount of money to ask for :)

I'd charge based on how many lines of coding, =D 1 dollar every 10 lines could mean some huge cash payments. =) More realistically, if it's a fairly simple script, without user authentication, then probably around 100 dollars. If it has user authentication (Login's), and requires a lot of work... then maybe around 300 =D. Personally, I'd tell the guy to grow up and make his own script or pay me 1,000$.

Ok, 'butter by the fish'. For a really good site with many users/visitors I would ask for 10.000 to 20.000 dollar.

You can calculate it by comparing your time spent on average income for skilled work in your country. You work from home, and you spend about 3 hours per day developing the site (minus 1.5 hours on phpdn, but the customer does not have to know that
). If average work day is 8 hours, then you should ask 3/8*average daypay. If average income for skilled work in your country is 2500 (whatever currency) then the amount is 937,50 (whatever currency).
If you are going to use the site in your portfolio, or you use it in marketing as an example, the amount can be less.
If the site has a great value for the customer or it is expected to make loads of cash with it, the amount can be more.
