So trying to figure out how much to charge for a site for an established actor. Hes been acting in TV and Films for the last 20 years. He is currently on a TV show that draws 19 million viewers a week.
That being said, he wants a site with a CMS, create his social media stuff, add videos, blogging system, etc. Nothing too crazy right now, but with room to grow. He pretty much wants us to set up and brand his online identity so he can interact with his audience. As a small team (3-4 people), what would a comfortable price range be? Thanks ill take my responses off air.....

Add up the hours you think it'll take to do it and charge your day/hour/week/month/retainer rate and quote the motherfucker.

So would you charge the same if you're delivering the exact site for john smith the actor who is just starting out and has some $ VS a high profile actor who is on a major TV show? I guess that is the dilemma, I mean you wouldnt charge Nike the same as you would the local gym for a project, right?
- well John Smith wouldn't have the budget either so you quote to the perceived available budgetwhatthefunk
- I doubt the local gym would need the same site that Nike needs.DeSiard
- Just making analogies...ArmandoEstrada
- You charge Nike more than the local gym. A lot more.duck3

what's the "interference" factor....
how often will you get calls from a freaked out publicist or the actor himself? If you smell this coming, double your price.

You could sell a maintenence contract with various levels of response time... and make them pay big-time for urgency.... where you charge $300/hour for same day changes, $175/hour for next day, $125/hour for 2 days change response,etc... make the "most urgent" price very, very high to both discourage it, and to make the others seam reasonable in comparison.
- thats a nice model right there. Never thought about thatVikingKingEleven
