Setting the prices to charge.
Well the task of the last few days has been to try and establish my price list for Pippas Web. This is harder than I thought. My target audience is sole traders, probably just starting out not making mega amounts of money, but wanting a website. They’re not technically minded and therefore have no interest in designing the site themselves. Also as I’m self taught and continually learning new skills I feel bad charging too much. But then if I want to do Pippas web instead of going back to work, then I need to be making enough money. Especially as it looks like a move to Stafford is now likely.
As I offer both HTML coded sites and Flash templated sites, I needed to do this twice over. Flash site are easier to complete so I decided to charge a slightly lower amount for those sites.
I’ve also seen some people taking the mickey in my humble opinion charging £50 just for handing over the password for a Flash templated site using the same site as I do. Where in actuality if the customer wanted they could have set it all up themselves for free.
Well the price list is now set. Once the site and blog goes live, then I can see if I’ve priced too high or too low.
