RE: yikes! how much do i charge?

Hi LM,

You should NOT take this job without quoting a per/hour price.  You can give
them an estimate of how many hours it "might" take times your hourly rate
($50?) then keep a diary of your time - a GOOD one.  I don't charge clients
for my 'learning' time unless I've made it clear that I don't know the
subject and they insist I do this specific job, then I charge for ALL my
time.

BTW, I consider $50/hour a LOW price.  If you're good and are providing all
the tools and equipment to create this site (HTML editors, graphics editors,
your computer-scanner-ISP time etc., much less your brain) then you need to
get paid for these tools.

Let me know how it goes.
