That depends on how much work it is. If you need a simple redirection script that works off a flat text file than any competant programmer can do that for like $150. If you need something that requires database programming and a functional management system than you will be paying more for custom work. For example, we quote out projects not on an hourly basis but on a single price for the whole project.
There are a few things to take into consideration: time, overall design of the project, communication with the client, design comps (if necessary), fundtional outline of any managers, initial launch, testing and final tweeks, etc..
Those steps apply to projects that are of meduim to large size and require more than 1 person working on it. We've done projects from $1500 all the way up to $50K. It all depends on the scope of the project. Whoever you hire you must see past projects that were paid for (not for my buddy or cousin) and have gone through the full cycle of development.
This is the same no matter if it's work in the adult world or not.
You often get what you pay for!
