PRICING

Hi Group,

As this is off topic, can you either point me to a different list or reply 
directly to me please.

How does one decide how much to charge a client?  I just lost my first ever 
client cause he wasn't prepared to pay what I had quoted for a site.  Is 
there a set formula?  The site was to have run to about 6 pages, with photos 
and text provided by the client, and I had to optimise all the images, design 
the web graphics and build the site.  Hosting was to be on his free webspace. 
 I offered him this for 75 - 100 UKP ($100 - 160) which he felt was not 
acceptable.  Question I am asking is: Did I overcharge, or was he not 
prepared to pay?  What should I expect to charge?  I am rather confused by 
this whole business, as this is the first time I've actually charged for my 
skills.

Hope someone can set me right!
TIA
