Well obviously there is a lot to consider. We tend to charge per project but with limits on client changes. We base this price on our hourly rate.
So the first question I have is do you have an hourly rate? Do you know how to calculate it? Is it based on what other people are charging or your actual expenses and profit needs?
I suggest that you calculate it based on actual needs and expenses since it is a better business practice (more professional too).
Then sit down and figure out the time it is going to take to develop the concepts, meet with the clients, do the paperwork and emailing that you will have, do the production, fix the problems, make the last minute changes and finish the site. Then add a comfortable percentage to that time (10 - 15% perhaps) and use that to calculate your overall price.
If you charge per hour to your client they are still going to want to know the estimated time it will take (this way they can get a total price).
Either way there is no way for us to give you a price without looking at the site and understaning what the client wants from a redesign.
Good luck!
