Since becoming a full-time freelancer, I have found myself flying high one day because I landed a new client – then cussing a storm because someone disputs an invoice. Rather than raise my blood pressure even further…I wanted to ask YOU how you felt about Web Pricing.
The blog posts are endless. Designers/Developers break it down to 63 hours of work for a $200 website = $3.17 an hour…blah blah blah. Maybe you’ve seen the Taco Stand video about Vendor/Client relationships.
The fact remains, credible web developers, (who work in a highly skilled and competitive industry), are sometimes expected to work for pennies because the competition is limitless. I don’t want to get into a debate about how to setup a pricing model. If you want to read about that, visit: (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/14/quality-price-ratio-in-web-design-pricing-design-work/ or http://www.pearsonified.com/2006/06/how_much_should_a_design_cost.php)
I want to know how REAL PEOPLE feel about WEB DEVELOPMENT PRICING. So please, take short (anonymous) 10 question survey and let me know how you feel.
