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.
TIA,
Shane
