I am putting together a quote for branding of a small/new web developer company. He wants something 'fresh' and 'young'
Having a little trouble pricing this one.
Would love some good advice please.

fifty quid now, fifty quid later!

so £100 sounds right?
- designerror0
no, 500 is more like it.

why is a web development company employing someone else to make their site, isn't that what they do??
- Mojo0
He's a developer/coder/cms guy.

If it's mates rates...
£500 - £1500 for the mark.
£extra for cards, letter heads, comp slips etc...
But then who knows? Are you any good? How much can they afford it? How many options are you going to give them?
I'm shite at working out pricing.

500... hmmmm, AIGA have some guide of practices and things - is there a brit equivalent?

Do you have any idea of his budget?
I'd def go over £500 - but it also depends if you are doing stationery etc for him too and how much of it?
I supose it comes dwn to how much you need the work too. You could do it on the cheap and look at it as a lead tofurther work?
I sometimes offer to let the client pay over a few months. That way, you look like you're felxible and helpful and sympathise with how hard it is on the old finances when you start up...

Really subjective.
I take these factors into account when I give a quote for such a job:
1) how big is he/is he making a wedge already or a start up (brutal I know but you have to think about what they can affrod)
2) Is he nice to work for
3) will the project reflect well/be the type of work I want in my book/website
4) will I get more work from him, or his collegues (a link on his site)
5) Can he do anything for me (build a CMS, etc...) Collab
6) how many concepts does he want
I take my rate at a daily amount and then think about how long (days) it will take me from Concept to completion, tweak a little and bob's ya father's brother...!

sound advice..

Yeah, I'm a recent start-up myself, been 'going' for about 20 weeks, just recently bought adobe cs2 and studio8 - I have found pricing to be most difficult, and being in Wales doesn't help!
Finding the right price is so difficult.

branding for a small company should in theory take 3-4 days to complete - this allows a day to make changes as requested by a client. convert that into your day rate and you have the cost. If you will be handling the printing of stationary dont forget to add your 10-20% on top.
