Randenbut give price breaks on projects as a whole00:04
FunnyLookinHatI'll usually charge around $50/hour00:04
Randenim still pretty small time, i can really justify that much yet00:04
FunnyLookinHatAnd I'll price break projects, or charge less for more monotonous work (i.e. html vs. php)00:04
FunnyLookinHatOh wow - quittin' time00:05
Randensome of my time is spent researching why shit wont work XD00:05

skyjumperpotential client yesterday said she wanted a CMS site for $15000:11
MitchMRanden, how long will it take you to make the mobile app?00:11
skyjumperclaimed she saw advertisements for that price00:11
MitchMhah.00:29
MitchMRanden, depending on how long that mobile app takes to build (not familiar with that) is how I adjust my price.00:29
MitchMnot even here.00:29
MitchMnvm.00:29
* Randen is back in action00:42
RandenMitchM: so what would ya pitch a site like that for?00:43
MitchMmyself, probably $500.00:43
MitchMdepends on the client.00:43
MitchMand mostly on how long the mobile app takes.00:43
Randenyou would use a CMS ya?00:43
MitchMI wouldn;t00:43
Randenive never done a mobile app :P00:43
MitchMyeah.00:43
MitchMwell, that's the kicker.00:43
MitchMmobile apps imho are hard00:43
Randenreally $500 though? thats super cheap00:44
MitchMand i'd charge $3k for this :P00:44
MitchMwell, that's not including the mobile app.00:44
MitchMyeah. but the site seemed fairly easy00:44
Randenwelll still mobile apps aside00:44
Randenand if you arent using a pre-built CMS building an inventory managment system is a PITA00:44
MitchMlooks like they are looking for a database with 2 tables00:45
