what would one charge for a basic html based site ? i have a client that wants a very simple site done and is not in a huge hurry so time would be flexible.

it might be easier to think of a dollar amount per hour you're comfortable working for.
$40? $50? $60?
once doing so take the time to figure out how many hours each step of the process will take.
ie...
concepts: 4 hours each x 3 concepts = 12 hours2 rounds of iterations: 1-2 hours each design x 3 designs = 3-6 hours
1 final iteration: 1 hour x 1 design = 1 hour
then guestimate how many pages you'll be developing, and using what technology. i know you said html but are you going to build pages off of an html template (which will go faster) or will there be multiple layouts for internal pages?
give a rough estimate.
when you come up wiht a final number of hours pad to account for bullshit you'll encounter.
times that by the $ per hour you're comfortable with and if you're happy with the number submit it.
it helps in your proposal f you itemize shit like i did above so the client doesnt get sticker shock from your price.
and explain everything and why. a client won't get it takes you 4 hours for a concept. they think we have templates in photoshop you plug logos into. ugh.
good luck.
