    You should bill hourly because you are providing a service. The website is not a product, it's a result of your services.

    You should estimate the number of hours to them so they know roughly what to expect and what they can fit within their budget. You should be honest and up-front the whole way through on where you are at with their budget, how realistic 'nice to have' features might be given over-runs earlier in the project, or if something comes in under-budget, pass those savings on!

    By doing it this way, you set a precedent that your time is billable, that their website is less of a "thing" that you buy, and more the result of efforts and time, and if things don't go exactly to plan, or if the scope changes, there's an easy feedback mechanism to get you paid for your time.
