The charge for web design. A non-technical questions that most often turn the mind of a freelance web developer is how much should I charge for my work as a freelancer?, Since many of us do not have a proper economic-administrative training we have no idea of how to calculate a budget, or how to disaggregate our services to a client, showing how they work and why we charge this amount for a project.
Many tend to not take sufficient importance to this issue early in his career as a freelance designer, and begin to drive prices down to try to go deeper into the market, creating a brand and a place. But this can often be counterproductive not only for the developer who implemented it, but to the broader market.
The cheaper services makes pay less each day than it really should be, for a quality job that requires a certain magnitude. Many underestimate what we do think it's something easy, forgetting that it is easy for us because we know how to do and study for it.
Assess your work as a freelance web designer
Izrada sajtovaIt is clear that not all web design work we do together is going to charge the same, many advise that you try to charge based on which pages the site has. But this can be very misleading, because a site can consist of 20 pages that use the same template or layout, so the investment of time in the design will not be much compared to a site that has 10 pages but with different design each.
Many other applications to use the score, with speculation trying to set a price to give an answer to the customer and end the project turns out to be more complex or time-consuming than it looked and this makes us lose time that could invest in other activities and other projects, which involves loss of money and time.
In it the correct way to set a price is set ourselves a salary for us. If you work in a company before, or are currently working on one, you should refer the salary given to us by time and use it to extract a part of the price.
The size of the company will also influence to get the final price due to the use of resources that it generates. If we are a company made up of 10 spend more on salaries, electricity, energy and real estate to a company formed only by you.
That is why the service offered by many companies already established you can see a slight exaggeration, but it is because they have to survive by paying some kind of income and basic services like water and electricity.
Your time is worth money
We have the great advantage that we are offering a service that can be measured in time. Counts the time you've invested in the project and if this demand is too let them see the client, this may not be to their liking as they already do a budget, but you can not give your time and your work.
Taking into account the experience that you have left earlier work, if you see that a project is very similar to one already made above takes this factor as a basis for calculating what needed and set a price.
We should not belittle the service we provide, as in conclusion that is, a service that we provide to any company in any market or a person interested in advertising on the Internet, which they would not want its image to be poorly received by users and / or potential clients. Let them see the quality of your work and it's worth paying you that amount you claim.
Calculate how many hours you invested well in the analysis, design, coding, and testing details. All matters and not because a certain stage you been recently found to be discarded, each part of the process is important.
Finally if you feel the need, and you have a friend, relative or acquaintance who undertakes the administrative side comment it get close to him and asks about your business and even informal advice on how you were charged.
And if you want to see a professional do it, you can even find out some plans and projects of private companies or the government to support your business and receive extra income.
