ANy rounded off number you can gleam form that?

Do you have to do any server-side configuration or installation of software? Do you have to write the code for the site from scratch or will you use something already written for that purpose? Are you designing from scratch, how graphic intensive will your development be, does it require custom graphic work? Does the client have a host, do they support what you intend to implement? Or will you have to move the site and configure a new server or host account? If so, any set-up fees or other associated overhead?

It's really difficult to give you a specific round number, because there are so many variables. Aside from what I mention, and what others have mentioned (claus, that was excellent, btw), the right quote for you may be very different from the quote I'd give someone, simply because of regional differences in the market and our hourly rates.

Bottomline: it's YOUR freelance business and you are the boss - so you have to value your services and charge accordingly. Sorry if this seems harsh, but all of us who are in the business have had to do that for ourselves based on the market, our experience and our situation. It just comes with the territory.

Have you googled for designers in your region? What do they typically do? That should give you a starting point.
