    I would include writing, copyediting, and uploading all the content that will be in the site at launch. If you need a few photos, put in a few stock images, or maybe even take a few pictures yourself. Put in the Google analytics code, set up their analytics dashboard, train one of their geezers to add content and check the analytics, etc., etc. Find more services you can provide to them on the project, so that you can charge more.

    Generate a long detailed list of all the stuff you're going to do for them. And ask for about $8000. It takes you a full month to do it, and you get paid what you're worth, and they have a great site.

    And if they balk at the price, say, "well, I could cut out some of these items..." Then whittle it down so you're hardly doing anything at all on the project but you're still getting paid $5000.

    • You know people that would pay $8000 for a template??formed
    • People do it all the time. A template != a website. They take almost as much work as a site from scratch. Sometimes more.monNom

    just shoot it straight with the client , everything you do is billable

    research , analyzing code , testing,

    tell the client what they are paying , flat fees are murky without the hour estimate , and you will eat hours that way and next thing you know you made minimum wage on the project .

    always estimate the hours to the client and yes PAD , it gives a sense of deadline , but be upfront what you are billing , if you are doing work towards there project why are you not billing it, or padding another area?

    to answer the above question would some one pay $8000 for a template , yes they would and I know plenty who have

    but they did not pay just for the template ,

    Templates are out of the box solutions with 0 content and no original art work

    just cause you use a template does not mean you did not modify it to meet the company's need .

    I have estimated WP projects at over 120 over and that is using a template , now for someone to pay around $8K that would be a project of about 150 hours (about 3.5 weeks) at around $45-50 dollars an hour very reasonable
