    dbloc, more than i can reasonably bill for. stumbling around it will invariably cost me to some degree. what are reasonable hourly rates for wp dev/design in the states? ...and then, what are reasonable flat fees for small companies with a few pages and some manner of portfolio... 1-3k, 3-5k, 5-7k?

    say it only takes me 20 hours hammer it out*. unlikely, but maybe i get a good template and can strip out what i don't like and establish a color palette easily, do i bill it at $50hr/1k? That seems way too little.

    [* likely it's going to take me 3x longer than that as i'm not a wizard at the format. illustrated here but invoking "wizard" and "format" to describe a wp gig.]

    • if you think it's going to take you 20hrs, charge for 30. Always add a little padding for research.dbloc
    • I personally charge between 50-65/hr but I always add some padding on the hours. You don't usually realize how long research actually takes.dbloc
    • I don;t really have a standard rate. I look at every job separately.dbloc
    • thanks so much for the great feedback! Helps a lot.
