Am I charging enough for this task?

[ad_1]

Hello everyone.

So I see a lot of these types of posts on here and thought I ask for myself. I know I don’t charge the going rate for my work, I get it, but it works out for me with available time and type of work required so that’s fine. But the client is arguing hard on price for a new feature he needs on a pre-existing site.

I won’t give out the site but it is wordpress running the ‘motors’ theme. The company sells used cars.

So basically they want a page with a table which shows all car details and costs so they can see each vehicles profitability. Nothing too crazy and I even suggested they could just use an excel sheet because, why do they need that in the website backend. The request also came to “keep the price down”. Great!

And now, feature creep of course… he wants the page to now automatically populate when cars are added as new listings. Then he wants all data, costs etc to also update via the listing page for each vehicle. So ACF plus custom code to grab the meta on new listing or update. Ok. Then he wants JS sorting and filtering by month and sold/unsold.

I can do it all but do I really want to do this for just $250?? What quote should I realistically go back to him with?

Thank you
