a client asked for this:

Originally posted by the client the client wrote:

The full spec for the site is:
Homepage - This would be a photoshop background with some text, a log in
area, forgotten password link and subscription page link.

Subscription page - This would be a terms and conditions section, once agreed
to it will link to the subscription area where the usual information that is
required by payment transaction companies. The First Name, Surname, Email and
Password would be kept in our database aswell. This would need to be on an
SSL.

Member's only page - This is where the information will be kept that member's
are paying to view. A photoshop background, some text and links will be here.
Also space for some banner ads at the bottom of the page.

The database will need to be MySQL and have a control panel for me to use.
I'd need to be able to change the value for the amount to charge per
subscription and send out bulk email to all members, like a weekly newsletter. New
members will also get an email sent to them regarding their log in details.

he is an american, what shall i tell him for the price (without hosting, just the system), i don't know the price range in the states is..

thanks.

That depends on how complex you will be doing it. How long will it take you. You should not ask others what to charge, you should add up how long it will take you, then what that time is worth for you.

yes, you may be right... but it is not my client problem if i was good or not.

It will also depend on how much my client can pay? how BIG is he? I think we agreed that there is no problem in this since we talked in this issue before.

Now, how much willl you charge him michael?

n.b. it will take about 10 hours to finish the system and database for what he asked, design may take up to 3 days until we take his approval on it. don't ask me how much i take per hour, because the concept in Egypt differs, we are not charging per hour, but per project.

Be careful when charging per project, you need some sort of finish line or the client could take advantage

SSL - can be gotten for $70 to $900. I pay $70. Charge double or triple that depending on the environment. You may be able to charge less or more... fickle on that one... The host determines the environment...

Everything else sounds pretty standard. Charge a premium for the control panel. Add in a few toys and you're styling.

I dont know, say something you think is ridicuously high and you might be pleasantly suprised.  If they refuse cut yourself in half.
