I am looking to start making websites for companies and was wondering how to gage the price for each site I make. What are you selling websites for and what do those websites consist of in size and complexity vs cost.
How much per hour do you think you’re worth? Multiple that by 10 and that’s the answer.
u/Mesum nailed it – you need to know your hourly price. Then once you have that, you discuss with the client what features they want on the site, and come up with your price from there. Generally there isn’t a standard price for a website, they’re all different. It takes a lot of trial and error to know how long it takes to build each feature – most people still get it wrong after a decade of experience.
I’d look up some guidance on establishing an hourly rate, project mgmt, contract writing and estimation.
You’re looking to be a businessperson now so at least get some sense of the business side.
You have quite a bit of research ahead of you. I recommend creating about 10 sites and then taking an average.
