HTML - How To Charge For Building Websites?
I had created a similar thread here a while back but that was regarding site "maintenance". I am now bidding for my first paid job locally here in NY but this is all I have to go on from the person:
The work on my website will require flash/animation inserts. They will be self-building PowerPoint slides. Which of your samples includes or comes closest to that? You must give me a maximum compensation figure if you want to be considered. I had told him that I cannot give a price without knowing all details, how many pages, images, if the need animation e.t.c and I still don't know but that is mainly how it's done here in NY, people tell you next to nothing and ask you what you will charge, how would you guys handle this please? Similar TutorialsFor those of you guys who may be familiar with my situation now learning web design, I have been approached by a local music studio here in NY to provide some site maintenance work for them, they will be wanting pics and content replacing and need the site updated. I am a novice at this so I haven't a clue how to charge for this? I realize that I cannot charge anywhere near what a pro would charge so that is not a problem at all for me, I have to start somewhere, I have designed a few sites before but that was simply editing templates and I had to do some of the work done by paying pro's to do it via Rentacoder. Now, that I have learned XHTML and CSS I want to do everything myself and will only pay someone to help if there's no way I can do it myself so can you guys help me out by suggesting how much I should charge for this my first job doing maintenance? Also, do I charge by the job or work performed or do I give an hourly rate? Does anyone know any useful websites to learn how to use HTML? I've used w3school's but i don't find it great. I'm a student learning XHTML. As part of a project I need to locate websites which provide troubleshooting tips for different problems (images, wacky tables, etc). Does anyone know of an especially good website for obtaining this kind of info? Help is greatly appreciated. if i want to make the content of 1 frame on my website, another website ?? how do i do this???? How do professional websites update all of their pages at once? For instance I see that a website has change the navbar in every page, (1000+ pages) At the moment, I first make my home page, then I copy&paste it and change the text etc, but if I wanted to change the navbar, I would be needing to change every single page 1 by 1. Hello! I was wondering how you make a little logo to your website like the one on google.com for an example. Hey whatsup? I am working on a wrestling site ( www.bballcentral.com/stkf ). ANyways, im trying to get videos up onto the site? How do i do that and what sthe best ways? Hi everyone, When using the zoom function on a website, should the elements move and disjoint? I'm fairly sure they shouldn't but it's a question going round... thoughts? Nick Hi, I have a pretty general question but i'm posting it here since it pertains to xhtml and content. As far as I understand the big deal about css is that it makes your sites flexible and lets you edit the layout and look of every page just by changing the stylesheet/s they are linked to. Is there a way to do this with content? What if I have hundreds of pages and want to add a link to the navigation bar? Is there a way to link templates and content to script the same way I link css? Thank you in advance and feel free to move this if this isn't the appropriate board. hi, i am currently trying to learn HTML and wanted a free live website to practice on, however when i signed up for one at tripod.com, i had to use some setup guide thing, even when i clicked "start a blank website". most other free website services seem to have something similar. Is there a way around this, so i can start from scratch and build the website purely with html/xhtml etc. or a different histing service that lets you do this? any information would be appreciated, thank you Hi, I'm new to HTML and my interest is purely in coding for emails. My specific challenge de jour is coding a photo into an email without it (i) needing to be on an external server or (ii) an attachment. I want the photo to travel with the email body with no external link. Is this possible and if so, can I be pointed to an example of same? Cheers. Today's websites, most people focus on building them with more advanced languages such as PHP & MySQL, am I right? Do people still build full websites using only HTML and CSS? The only HTML/CSS sites I really see nowadays are usually old informational static websites that never change. Hey guys I just got an oppurtunity for an internship this summer and I need some Ideas for a small little portfolio (some small web pages and such) also maybee some banner ideas. Here is the email I got "We design and create anything from a simple 3 to 5 page website to huge applications for an organization or even a municipality. My ongoing project is www.ourfortworth.com (OFW.) It is a web community I created in 1999 just for kicks. Since then, it has grown to an average of 85,000+ visitors each month. OFW focuses only on local information and advertising for local businesses. The "full color display type" ads you see at the top and on the sides of each page are something we are constantly making for new or existing advertisers. We usually change or update the ads when ad contracts renew every three to six months. We are just starting our Restaurant Guide to complement the business directory we are working on. Most of the work initially would be the ads I mentioned above and the basic 3 to 5 page websites for small businesses. I would like to talk with you when you have time and get a feel for the style of work you produce, your basic design style, etc. to see if we might be a good fit to work together. " Any programs that y'all know that work well for making banners? Also I know HTML pretty well , what would help me practice getting better at it or what should I move onto? Just looking for some Ideas.. (By the way I'm 17 and know XHTML) Thanks, Randy Hi I have a website that i publish videos in a flash player (like youtube, etc) but its not a youtube. What i am wanting to do is get some sort of html code that i can provide to my users to let them copy it and paste it in there website to have the video player play on there site, kind of how all the other videos sites do it with those embedd tags. Can anyone share some code to help me do this??? thanks so much! In the beginning, managing a relatively small website was easy if I wanted to change the menu and main template. I could just go in and change the snippets of code on each html document. Now that my website a little larger (Not huge, but somewhere around 60/70 pages), it is starting to get far harder to change the menu and general template because I have to change each individual page. For example: I want to add another link on the left side menu. To do this, I must go through every single html document and edit the code. So my question is, is there an easier way to do this? Can I somehow set up a master template without having to resort to frames? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! I am using <a href> classes in a css to change the colors of different types of links in my document. The default a:link is white. I defined another class a.bottomlink:link that is blue. If I use the bottomlink class with a link to a website that looks like this "http://website/subname/" I get a white link. If I use it with a link to a website that looks like "http://website/subname/pagename.asp" I get a blue link. I don't know the pagenames for all the websites I link to. Why is this happening? What can I do? Thanks. Hi Guys. I recently updated my website, I moved my company logo so it would be above my main navigation, however by doing this I needed to change the .css slightly (the "Stage" width was altered - this was the only thing I changed). By doing this it allowed for a slightly newer navigation layout which you can view HERE. However since I have done this, the website is no longer viewable properly using a Mac (it still looks fine on a PC) why would this have changed? (I took a screen grab of what I mean - you can view it HERE I'm not a pro by any means, I have self taught myself but I am seriously stumped by this. Any help is welcome! Hi All, Im just wondering what the standard Width and Height is for a website nowadays? Thanks in Advance On the website: www.jsbseafoods.20m.com Have the following problems: Browser Issues: 1.)

When viewed with Firefox company name is missing? 3.) When viewed with Chrome sometimes when you scroll down the page and then up, top part of the company name is missing? Other Issues2: *SOLVED* 4.) On the Homepage "/div>" appears at the bottom of the page, I cant find where this is in the html code to remove? *SOLVED* 5.) On the Location page in Firefox and Chrome the page has an un-necessary space below the google map, on Internet Explorer the page is cut short.
