I have a blog on this that includes my own thoughts plus a number of insightful methods of estimating in the comments. It's more about a "project" but it applies nicely to the points folks are bringing up.

Working on your own you should be able to charge $70-$150 an hour. I mostly base it off on a "per page" basis. basic set up fee $500 - $1000, basic template, css, xhtml, basic db, etc... $175 a page for cfm pages flash and other things like photo galleries and stuff is a minimal charge. Extensive graphics, I add on and pay my graphics guys $50 an hour. ~Dave the disruptor~ "Some people just don't appreciate how difficult it is to dispense wisdom and abuse at the same time." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:223052 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
