New here w/ lots of questions.

[MikeBrown]

Greetings all,

As you can see I'm new here this is my first post and thanks for having me.

My #1 reason for being here is to seek knowledge.

I've been tinkering with websites for the last ten years. Most of my sites were my own projects.

Recently I've started to create sites for a number of others and really need to lock down a pricing structure, bid and quote system etc...

Basically I can build great sites but need help in running the business.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't want to charge too much and loose jobs but I don't want to give away my work either. Is there any "Industry Average" pricing for web development, seo and design?

Hey there Mike, this is a great site, you can't always post links on here (even if you aren't affiliated, one of the rules here). I've always done my own personal stuff so I'm not sure, but welcome! Hope you have a good time.

Not trying to promote myself just asking where to look for how to price my work and draw up professional looking proposals.

Thanks for the greeting and I look forward searching the old post for ideas. It looks like I could read old posts night and day for weeks here.

I see you found a thread on the topic:

Let's lock down this one and continue related discussion over there.
