considering u spelled copywright wrong... ;)

[brandonl]

well thx;) but im still looking for an answer

[MinistryD]

I'd probably say seeing as it's flash and has some interactivity to it about $40-60 perhaps. I'm not certain though, I'm sure others would be able to give you a better estimate!! :roll

[kiwicolin]

Depends on the client, did they commision the work or did you just do it? Are you going to populate it with content?

[brandonl]

i work for this guy and yes i am going to populate it with content. alot of content. and he already has alot of stuff: webhosting and game servers like that. i am making the site for his game servers.

[FrostedWeb]

thats a really nice site, it loads quick and looks great:
I would say
60.00 to 80.00 USD

=brian=

[brandonl]

koo thx

[alfredk]

At least 1000usd
plus hour rate for the updates.

[brandonl]

$1000 dollars are you serious!!!!!!!!!

[alfredk]

Yes,
that whats my company (wich I own)would bill the client. Not the amount that would go in my pocket.

AL

[brandonl]

i need a stabel job lol! :D

The price depends on many things. What do you actually sell? Only the design, or do you sell the copyright (name,domain), too? Will he use it in a commercial way? These all are just some of the factors multiplied with working hours x 70.
1000 USD are nothing as long as you worked hard on it. But you have to know what you can charge without making him run away.

[brandonl]

thx guys for your info...

[kiwicolin]

I agree you could get $1,000 for a design like that (with content) Also depends on how much experience you have, are the images properly optimized? etc.

[brandonl]

ya every thing is optimized. the whole site all together is about 73kb

would the price increase if i set up all his forums and stuff like that, well what im trying to ask is how much for forum customization.

[Fire-Proof]

I really have to get into this flash stuff. That site looks like it would be worth a lot.

[brandonl]

its not that hard, but it is time consuming and addictive lol < i cant spell owell.

[Fire-Proof]

you can't spell owell, owell.:D

[brandonl]

well u see the guy im selling this site to also gives me free web hosting. but i dont want to give him the site for free u know. WHAT should i do.. and we never discussed a price:(
help pls

[kiwicolin]

Now this is where things get sticky

You should always settle on a price before beginning work.
I don't know what his epectations are and what you discussed. Is his a big business or a basement business? I would present it to him and ask him what he is willing to pay - if you trust him.

If you don't trust him, through a figure out there and see what happens. A lot depends on how you discussed the job with him. If he was not expecting to pay a lot, he could get sticker shock. But you did a good job and deserve to be paid for it. I like the Flash work you did, the only thing i would change is the text at the top. :)

[brandonl]

do you know if there is any place were i can sell it as a templet?

[Daniel Hughes]

Personally I'd take Colin's advice then see what happens - if your desperate to make money from this and nothing comes out of your current client then you can maybe look into template work. However I think the $1000 has possibly made your mouth water ;) - it is a really nice site!

[kiwicolin]

ps, you won't get as much money for a template as you will for a commisioned site. (most templates sell for under $50)

[anne54]

I would say you really don't want to sell it; it's your hobby and passion and you spent a long time creating it for yourself exactly as you wanted it.

Then say if he were willing to pay as much as....say, $2000 dollars for it, you might think about it. Then settle for the $1,000 later.

If he doesn't negotiate, don't be a sucker and sell it for one or two hundred dollars.
Just continue on with it like nothing happened.

[brandonl]

koo thx

[Osiris]

$100-$150 USD.
Sites made in entirely flash have many drawbacks.

[brandonl]

I really dont see the draw back for me, that just means i get payed to update it. so..... i get more money :D
plus its not a template it is a custom site.

[brandonl]

ok

[Friction Graphics]

Ummmm well i dont even see the site, just get a page connot be displayed error :(

[C9Mouse]

I can&#039;t see the site, either. I get a 404 Error: Page Can&#039;t Be Displayed.

I don&#039;t think I&#039;d pay a $1,000 for that...lol.
