Pricing Help?

The company I work for wants me to make single page websites for employees. This will only include a photo, bio and social media icons. I have never done something so basic I don't know what to charge per website. Any suggestions?

I don't quite understand the arrangement. Do you work for this company, or are you a subcontractor supplying work for the company?

Everyone there is considered Independent Agents. So it's the agents that want the webpages not the company I should have thought that through before posting

Assuming you are a developer that invoices for work you do for them, or any company, just imagine making one web page as a standard you can replicate any number of times.

• Consider the designing of the template - how long will it take you?
• Do you have all sorts of company graphics etc to make the template?
• Are you inserting these into an existing website?
• How many images for agents pages do you have to work with?
• How long will it take you to manipulate the images for standardization?
• On average, how long will it take you to populate the average page after the template is done?
• Then uploading, testing and then say a 10% contingency?

But the most important aspect is determining what your charge-out rate is. Or, call it your cost to be in business charge.

Everyone's is different, but designers can charge anything - within reason of course. But they key is knowing your charge out rate - then multiply that by the extimated hours it will take to get the job done.

Hope that helps.

It depends on the number of employees but for the range 1-100 I would charge $30-50 per one web-site.

Assuming this charge is just for one page and not "per one web-site", as you put it, how much is the charge if they have 110 employees?

The operative word here is, TEMPLATE. This has nothing to do with head count, anyway. A simple data table and an images directory to point at. A few hours at most. Some PHP, and some relatively simple jQuery (a plug-in) and Bob's your uncle. All in a day's work. Bill whatever a day's work is worth to you.
