RE: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???

I charge a rate of $80 an hour or so, and haven't had any problems.

Some projects will take a month, but can be done while working on three other projects, other require dedicated time, this is more costly. The more projects you do the greater your own list of libraries you develop become, this makees the work easier and faster, you may want to charge the same amount, or more because the work is done quicker, or less because its easier for you now. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com lee@mediawaveonline.com ""Shane McBride"" <php@riversidedesigns.net> wrote in message news:001a01c08bc3$f61aa9c0$f4a00718@abdn1.md.home.com... I know this is not really a PHP question, but it should make for a good thread. :) I was wondering what other PHP people charge to write PHP? I have just been given a project for a fairly large customer, much larger than I normally do work for. So I am VERY confused.concerned about how to price it. Most of my other PHP projects have been done for small single owners businesses, and the PHP has been pretty basic. Now that I can actually do what I am being asked without have to learn it, I am stuck. I did a shopping cart for someone, but I didn't charge them a REAL price because I didn't know how to do it with PHP. So, I of course didn't charge the client for my learning curve. I know the price is very dependant upon the task. What I am doing is creating a web-based front-end for a MySQL database. I'll need to create the database tables, etc. The front-end is going to be rather dynamic since the data content depends largely on the previous choices of the end-user. One or two tables with 20-30 fields. 5-6 pages of html and PHP. I'm just scouting this out, and am VERY confident with the contributors to this list and their opinions.
