[PHP] Rate to charge

2005-07-21 Thread timothy johnson 
I have been asked to look in toprogramming a PHP system for someone, and
while I have been programming for a while this will be the first time
it will be for someone other then a friend. Just wanted to get some
ideas on how much you charge for program PHP/Mysql. Any ideas on how
to charge would be great. Thanks

I charge $50/hr. Be very careful when you specify a timeline, it will 
always take at least 10-25% more than you estimate! It's better to over 
estimate and complete earlier. At least it makes you look good ;)


Good Luck!

I found this to be an interesting read... while it doesn't specifically 
address your question, it covers a lot of consulting related issues 
(hourly, fixed bid, client management, etc.)


It's worth spending the time to read...
