How much should I charge?

One of my client told me that I charge too cheap for developing/designing a website. The client told me he hired another dev who is doing his project for 750$ for which I was charging somewhat about 50$ and I was like OMFG! (I dropped his project, was out of my capabilities and have 7 more projects to complete(~15$)

). I charge about 30$(avg) for a website. Is 30$ a fair price? How much should I charge for a website? Need legit answers.

Build a client base
can slowly charge more

This is where to ask http://www.mpgh.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=382

$30 for a website is insanely cheap. I just paid around $200 for a website with couple pages and payment system, not even with graphics included. Everything is done by hard code and it does take time and skill so you should be charging over $100 at least

Depends on what you do. Post some of the websites that you've created.

Depends on how big you are. You can't charge a lot if you're not very well-known. Also people can just use stuff like wix etc these days, depending on what kind of website it is. Which can then be coded more too.

If you're finding that you're spending way to much time for too little pay, charge more. I would say at least $100.

Depends on experience, expecatations and quality.

I wouldn't touch the project... but then again I charge $150 a hour and have a shitload of experience.

One fucking million $$$

How can your project be expensive when he took another person to do a website for an is charged $750 for it.

This dude is rather a dumbass than anything else, quite frankly.

1. He hired me(50$). I dropped the project after few days.
2. He told me that the new dev(that he hired after me) is charging 750$ for the same project.
You meant me?(the last line)

No, he is the dumbass after asking for another dude to do the same damn project for $750 while yours was so much cheaper.

Really all depends on how shit the website is. I've been paid $900 in the past for making a website. Took like 3 months to build though. I've never gone below $250.

You should raise your price bud.

You should base your price on the hours you spend on it. First estimate how difficult the site is, and chose your $/hour accordingly. Then just multiply that with the amount of hours you think it's going to take. Try to be fair to the client, but also to yourself!

depends on the website, I payed 3 for mine LOL
but it has nothing

How much should I charge?
