OK, this is one of the first websites that I'm being paid to do, so I need some help on pricing it...
So far I know that it is for a small business and it will include 10 pages and some Flash work. They need it completed by the end of August.
Now I know this isn't enough information to give a final price, but what price range should I tell them??
Thanks in advance for your help

If you search below with the keywords "pricing" or "billing" you'll get tons of info

10 pages of WHAT?
What kind of flash work?
Photos, Content?
Jees bro, these are basic requirements for pricing. if you cant relay these specs, you'll get no answers. or you will either screw yourself with too much work for little money,
or price yourself out of a gig.
i dont want to be a dick - this is the way things get quoted.

I was just thinking that being a small business it couldn't be too extensive, but I'll get some more info...
So there isn't any kind of range I couls them and not have the possibility to get screwed

You're young, and if its your first, I say do it pro bono, that means free. Most likely what you'll do for this person you'll hopefully look back on, and if you charged him you'll feel like you severely ripped him off. Anyhow it helps to get folio pieces and probono work becomes beneficial later on....

Ok, I'm young, but I can make a website that's worth money... I would like to charge something, just to get some moeny to get my desiging "career" started. But the fact that it helps my portfolio means that I'll charge a very low price...maybe $500? I don't know

i know you are young but id like to see you do it up right, thats all.
the last thing i want to see is a small biz get over on a freshman with skills.
find out a little more and get back with us
cool?

No way . . . anyhow you're too young to be bound by a contract anyhow mate. Not to mention youre working on little to know real-life experience.... thats what gets the jobs that bring the money....

Just charge a price that you feel is reasonable, but know that whoever you're doing this site for is going to want to take advantage of you if you go too low, so always cover your ass with a contract. Rest assured.
Here's what I did when I was starting out:
NO MATTER WHAT you need to strike up some sort of contract. I would look at what needs to be done to get the site up and running, then I would come up with one lump-sum for the whole site that I felt comfortable charging someone taking in to consideration my lack of experience. Then, once the site was up-and-running, I would charge a hourly fee for any updating to the site. I normally send my clients a monthly bill with a breakdown of whatever work I did on their site that month.
That help?
