The Free Bus link looks like Free BJ's.

I quite like it as it is!

It depends how good you are.

Are you the kind of person who has just made a site in Frontpage and has though, "I'm a professional, let's make money!"

or do you actually know what you're doing, you've made good sites before and such...

Give us an example of what you can do, that will make things a lot easier.

And be serious please.

Grrr,

www.premiumpropertyservices.com

Spelt it wrong..

Well, my nieghbor asked me to do this for them:

www.premiumpropetyservices.com

Now, i can do better then this, but this is a very small company and doesnt have much to write about, etc.

As i am doing it for my nieghbors they are giveing me a small fee of £50, but if i was making this for a 'proper' company and i didnt know the guy, what do you think i could charge?

Tyla uses Frontpage!

:cp

The thing is, and I suspect it in this case...

People make a small site and think, "Oh, I've mastered it now, let's start a business."

I find it depressing when I find people selling sites that I could do using Frontpage! Without sounding big headed because I know that it's still terrible, my site is way better than loads of the attempts at sites out there!

I may as well be charging 100k an hour compared to some of the crap that people try...

NOTE: I WON'T SELL SITES BECAUSE I'M CRAP.

Urgh.

Here's my rates:

£290 - £500 per day depending on level of work/type of work involved. Basic Design/HTML build is the lower figure, Full CMS/Dynamic/Flash Driven is at the higher level.

or

£35 - £75 per hour, again depends on whats involved.

Updates charged at 10% of initial build cost.

Don't bother.

People won't pay.

Tyla does it professionally, I've talked to someone who tried it and even charging £10 a site they didn't get any business...

Don't embarrass yourself unless you're really good and you know you'll do good...

Forgot to say, any suggestions on what i could do to improve it?
remember i am doing it for free so i aint gunna make it excellent until they say they wanna pay me :P
