Price of a webpage

Post by HappyTchoum »

Hi,

I have a meeting next monday about building a e-commerce. Since it is going to be my first contract, I really don't know how much I should ask

The project will consist of building a e-commerce with a catalogue, a shopping cart, online payment, delivery tracking system, content management system and maybe some other things.

How much should I ask?

Thank you.

Take into consideration the estimated amount of time it will take you to complete the task, then multiply that by a fair hourly wage, and then you have a project fee.

ask them for a feature list, which should have everything they want, if while building they want something else, work out the number of hours it take you for the changes etc, and bill them for it :).

I'm asking what would be a fair price for a ecommerce. When I checked on rentacoder.com, it was about 800 us that find very very cheap...

Thank you for the previous answer and the future one.

depending on your quality and scale of the application

for example:

if i was building something on the scale (and amount of use) as amazon.com i would charge no less thean probably £10k and probably higher if your building a small shop for some little community then around £1000 upwards is a good starting figure

dont trust rentacoder / scriptlance prices, alot of them are from 15 yo's who are willing to work for peanuts, don't undersell yourself
