Website design for local businesses: how much should I charge?
I've gone through the process of setting up a self-hosted website using Wordpress a couple times now. In the process I've created a couple of decent-looking websites. Recently a friend of mine decided he wanted a website, and I set it up for him - I charged $200 as a flat fee for the whole project. I had the site running in a few hours and my friend was happy with the site.
It occurs to me now that I have a skill that can be monetized - setting up websites for local businesses. I will be using free Wordpress themes, so I can present the client with hundreds of different looks for their website. Using wordpress should enable me to add whatever functionality the client wants - contact form, twitter feed, shopping cart, etc.
So if I start advertising "website design for local businesses" on Craigslist, how much should I charge for the whole service? Does it depend on the required functionality of the site?
Thanks!
