I'd disagree that it is too saturated. I think if you are good enough, you could get into it quite easily.
I do think the pricing you posted is a little steep. It doesn't really matter if hosting and email is involved, because we both know that's very cheap to provide.
I think if you cut that in half, it'll be OK. You really can't easily charge that much anyway until you get a portfolio going. People won't hand that much over to someone who doesn't have previous work to show.
Or, you could charge hourly. See the article, 7 Reasons You Should Charge by the Hour.
Oh, I wanted to mention, too, charging yearly for hosting probably isn't the best idea. I would offer monthly primarily, telling them it is for site maintenance (since most people don't know what hosting is). Again, who wants to pay for an entire year of hosting before they can even see how their web site will turn out, or before you know if your company will last beyond a year? |
I know how to program, but I'm no expert at it.
I guess without a portfolio to go by, I should lower my rates. I'll read the article when I get back home and see if I should charge hourly instead.
Good point about the hosting. I could do it monthly, but it's more expensive in the long run. I could also charge for updating as well.
