    Hours to develop and design x hourly rate = what to charge.

    Don't give them a fixed cost if you can avoid it because e-commerce sites can eat up a lot of time with all the potential issues they can have. They take about twice the amount of time to create a basic HTML site as you'll have to test everything after you implement it. You may have to customize something that the client believes is a small thing, but really isn't from your side of things. Tell them it will be a minimum of something, and then charge more for changes.

    - how much work will you be doing with the e-commerce?
    - are you completely customizing it?
    - any programming involved?
    - are they a small start-up?

    At least a couple thousand.
