What price should I charge someone to design an e-commerce website using joomla?
Heh, If I was using Joomla I’d be charging a lot, since I don’t like Joomla ;^P In seriousness, it’s hard to know how much to charge. I have run into this problem before. It’s a lot easier when you’ve done enough sites to have a good idea how much time and effort it will take- at least I’ve been told it’s easier then, I’m not at that level yet by a long shot. The most important thing is to get specific requirements beforehand. The customer will nearly always resist this. Make them sit down with you while you draw some mockups on a piece of paper or something. Map the site and determine ahead of time what sort of pages are needed, how they should be laid out, etc. Make it clear that the price charged is for that specific set of requirements and that any additions not covered by the requirements will cost extra.
