just to give you an idea, based solely on 8hour days... lets say that you can do this job, completed, debugged, installed, debugged, accepted and signed off in 10 days... that's 80 hours... now we use claus' formula... rounded to $2500.00 for the site at 80 hours... 20% off is $500 dropping you to $2000
just to add my little bit to this, claus has it right on the head... i've always been told to estimate how long you think it will take to do a job and then at least tripple that value... there will always be something that comes up that will cause problems of one sort or another... client wants to use another methodology, client needs additional functionality, client wants to interface with something else, and so on... 80 * 3.142857 = 251.42856 (so now we have 250 hours)
251.42856 * 10 = 2514.2856 (10$ an hour range - nice round number :))
33% off is $825 dropping you to $1675
how much work are you willing to do? how much for $10 an hour? are you worth more? less? are your skills worth more than your time? how confident are you that you can meet the set deadline?
