How Much Would You Charge An Offline Client For This?

I'd say, charge what you can get.

I'd also advise you to sign up for Maria Gudelis' materials, as well as David Preston and a few others. While there may be money in making a web page, there's a whole lot MORE in helping the same businesses bring in more customers.

If you have positioned yourself as the latest and greatest charge as much as possible. I'd be tempted to charge a fee and then move on to charging a monthly fee to change the site so it becomes a fully automated direct response site together. More traffic and sales to them makes you the guru at the top of the mountain able to charge whatever you want

How many hours do you have all together?
3k seems a little high if you didn't design it as I see no SEO has been done.

$3K is what the work really should be worth IMO. Of course, I'm a little biased being a designer too. When web design first came on the scene, that was the standard rate a designer would expect to get. Unfortunately, various things have devalued the service, which is a shame as proper web development is very technical and takes many years to develop.

If your client sees the value and you can get paid what you're worth, then by all means you should charge that amount. Sadly, we sometimes have to settle for what we can get. It depends on the client and the relationship you have with them, so in the end that's something you'll have to decide for yourself, based on that relationship.

Good luck!

Hi,

If you have been consistent in communication with the client, they already know what your rates are and have done a good job with it (client happy with progress/results), then hit them with the amount you have come up with. If you feel it's a fair price, then go with it.

Once you invoice them, one of two things will happen. They will gladly pay you or they will balk at the final bill. If they pay you, great... if they balk, explain to them what you have done and why the bill is fair. At the very worst, be prepared to negotiate an agreeable payment, then move on. Seek a balance between being flexible, but standing your ground.

The best way to look at this, is the experience you are gaining from doing this. If this is your first client, then getting your feet wet with what/what not to do next time is invaluable.

It sounds like a lot of what you are going through is the shock to you of how much money you can potentially get from doing work like this. I do what you do in a similar market and know I had to get past the sticker shock of work I did. Almost all of my clients had no problem with it. I had to gain the confidence that I am worth what I do.

Thanks,

John
