803andy Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 Hello, I have two quick questions: Turn Around Time What is your average turn around time for you to finish a website? What time estimate do you give your clients? Rush Fees How much extra would you charge a client who needs you to rush a job? Lets say they want it done in half your normal time. Thanks,
Rich251076 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 This is a highly variable question - what kind of website are you describing, pure XHTML/CSS with little scripting and no server side material or a full blown PHP driven portal with bell's and whistles? Flush out the spec first then create your estimate around how long it will genuinely take you to write solid code; then add 20% for a buffer. Beware of client that are over eager to have goods delivered in a rush - this can mean trouble. If this might be an exception to that rule and you feel you can accommodate the work - charge time + a half in the understanding you are going to be working outside your normal business process to make the delivery date. Just some ideas. R

Also time and a half seems reasonable, I don't charge hourly just a flat fee.
