can I charge money for this? - GoFuckYourself.com

lawpal · 06-02-2002, 05:48 PM

A friend of mine saw my new site, and said he would pay me to make him a site for his legal practice. I have never charged someone to make a website, mainly because I do not think I am good enough to do so. However, if I do, what is a reasonable rate? Should I charge by the job or by the hour (with a cap on the fee)?

Here is the site he saw and liked.

small site's like that you should do as a favor...maybe next time your in town he buys the strippers/drinks

an attorney doing website design? are you short on customers? the going rate on paysites people charge on here is around 500-1k, hope that helps.

mike503 · 06-02-2002, 05:52 PM

agreed. something like that wouldn't get ya more than a couple hundred bucks... a favor could be more lucrative over time

If it were someone I did not know I would think about it. However, he is a friend and a pretty decent guy, so I think the idea of doing it as a favor is better than gouging him.

Just so you know, you truncated a couple names in your "Business Quotes" area: You spelled Herodotus "Herodotu" and Forbes "Forbe".

Same here. I particularly liked:

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
--Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

I made my tattoo guy a website he offered lifetime tattoos
I made my harley mechanic a website now he fixes my harley for parts only
I made my realtor a website and she gave me a 1% discount on the new house
I love to barter, do the same.
Working on my contractor for the deck right now lol
Sometimes it is more profitable to NOT charge

I did a few freebee sites in the beginning too. If you consider this one a freebee for a friend and he's happy with it, then he'll likely refer others to you in the future... people whom you can charge design and ongoing maintenance fees up the ying-yang :D

You need to get money, charge the man...
