How much...?

[Markshall]

Right, one of my closest friends dads works for HP and he's asked me to start a website for him or something like that.

He's asking how much I should charge, and as I don't usually charge (I usually release things for free), I'm wondering how much I should charge per hour for coding.

I'm speaking realistically, I don't want any bull-fuckery answers like, "£900 per hour".

Thanks.

Per hour? Would it not be best giving him an overall cost for the whole site

Depends how big the project is and what he is asking.

That's what I thought, but he's asked how much per hour lol

You must be registered for see links

- yeah I guess, what would be an average amount, £4ish per hour?

Average project, I'd go for £15 an hour, maybe £20.

Hmm, that's a lot of money. It's my close mates dad so I don't want to feel as though I'm ripping him off.

I'll wait to see what he wants then decide. Thanks.

If anything go for £10, but you really need to take into consideration a lot of stuff..

• Project size ( Hours you'll need to get it done )
• Features asked
• Deadline
• Code quality
• Your own needs
• There are more but I cba.

Yeah I guess. I've started going out a lot more now as well lol.

The thing is, how would he know I've worked as many hours I claim I've worked for, or will he just have to trust me?

Video tape the entire process for him.

But what if I decide to watch some porn after a long 6 hour coding session and then decide to do more coding afterwards?

He will know, if the project is not that big and you need week(s)/ a lots of hours, he just won't hire you because he'll think

• You're ripping him off
• You're a nub and need a lot of time

lol @porn

and pause it.
