Sorry. No idea but I know somebody who has worked over there. I will ask him - he has worked on very big contracts!

What is the conversion rate from pounds to US right now (approximately)?

I am a fledging designer, but I have a fairly simple method for my pricing. I base my rate on a $45/hour scale (since I do most of the work myself). When a client has a website need, I give them 2 options:

  • I can charge a flat hourly rate
  • I estimate how many hours I think it will take x $45 = flat fee

For instance, a client wants to update the color scheme. Depending on the website, that may take less than an hour. Since there is a 1 hour minimum charge, then I would invoice for $45. However, if there are grapics/logos to consider in the update, then it could take many hours, which could be cost prohibitive to the client. In that case I would be flexible and go with a flat fee that is based on estimated time and what I think the client will be comfortable with.

Keep in mind that I try to target small businesses without huge budgets. Flexibilty is the key since every project has its own quirks and needs. One of my sales pitches is that websites should NOT be cost prohibitive for small businesses.

Accounting software is everyone that you can use to invoice. Anyone half-arse good with Word and Excel doesn't really have to have accounting software, although it makes it easier.
