Nothing all that magical about it really. I just discuss with the client in
as much detail as possible what they want, page by page, then try to guess
how much time it will take. Possibly pad a few hours for redesign after
client reviews the site. Multiply the total estimated hours by your hourly
rate and submit the bid. If the client wants more than what was agreed on,
then you can amend the contract.
