cost for web page creation

[VMHatup]

I'm trying to enter the market as a web developer (making static pages and making dynamic pages). If a client tells me,

"I want 20 static pages with frames and 2 dynamic pages that connect to SQL Server and Oracle. How much is it going to cost?",

how can I answer that?

Normally, how do web developers charge (by the hour, a grand total) and how much do they charge? All the web programming will be done with C# and ASP.net.
Thanks,
VM

It depends upon what is agreed in the contract, and project plan, etc. Typically a static HTML page is charged per page and a simple page would typically fetch a minimum of £20.00.

Hi,
dynamic pages are hard to calculate by page, for example a static site with products, say you fit 7 products on a page and you have 70 products so that’s 10 pages. If you were to do the same dynamically you can do it with 1 page and database. I normally price the database first say around £300-£800. Now depending on the complexity of the dynamic site would depend on the price. Think about how long it would take to analyse, design, develop each part that is dynamic, workout how much you want to earn per week and calculate from there.
The example above, depending on your skills say could take a week and you want to earn £400 then that’s how much you charge.

Hope this helps
