Just some thoughts:

How do you go about quoting a price for coding an entire site?

Make a project plan, including and detailing all tasks to be done (find Andy Lester's slides for his talk on project estimation). Don't forget to put some oxygen on your deadlines.

After you know (roughly, of course) how long it's gonna take you, you can put a price for your work during that time.

Be sure the client agrees with the list of tasks to do (that is, that the client knows which functionalities are going to be implemented), and make sure it's in writing, so no one demands you anything else later on ("but the site must do Y!", "Sure, but that was not comtemplated, so it's gonna cost/take more").

There're bound to be bugs that will only be uncovered when the system is being put to use

Include X hours of support in the pack they're buying. Every time you fix a bug, report how long it took you to fix it.

The amount of time for support should probably be based on the project complexity.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
