Website Development Pricing

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to figure out how much I should charge to develop a fairly simple single page website (excluding hosting and domain costs). This is the first site I've developed for someone so any insight to pricing would be great!

Here are some details:
- It's already been developed in WIX and he wants me to convert that into "from scratch" coding with a few modifications.
- Not a lot of content
- Minimal interactivity
- For a small business
- Some graphic design
- Friend discount?

Thanks in advance!

    What's your time worth to you?

      At the moment I'm working about 50 hrs/week on average so pretty valuable, but the site shouldn't take very long to develop.

      What would a site like this typically go for? I was thinking $100 - 200 but I really have no idea.

      I'm a computer science graduate and I could probably finish the site in a day or two.

        I would have to see the website to get a better idea of how involved it would be.

        Depends largely on:

        1.) Does he want it to look identical, or just similar to the one he has?

        2.) If he wants it identical (basically a clone), there will be a lot more custom css coding involved.

        3.) Is it literally 1 page? If so, there will probably be some jQuery/javascript scrolling or other parallax effects.

        Coding from scratch always takes more time. Again, without seeing the site, it's hard to tell you what I think it should cost. But from what you've said, I would say a minimum of $500 (that's with the friend discount).

        I would figure no less than $50/hr, and then discount from there if you wish.

    I'd say $75 would be fair.
    That's what I'd do it for.

    friend discount included.

    I don't think any one can give you 500$ for one page website. Go for a price that you deserve.
