How much is a reasonable price to charge for creating a website


How much is a reasonable price to charge for creating a website?
I'm a Visual Communications major at the Art Institute and I just got my first freelance job designing someone's website. I'd like to charge something reasonable, lower than most web designer's prices, but I don't want to get ripped off. What's a good price?

"someone's website" is a rather vague description. It could vary a lot in complexity from something that takes you an afternoon to throw together, to many hours of hard work. Is it just simple HTML, or something more complicated ? Is it a personal or a commercial site ? Make some estimate of how many hours it will take you, look around for what a reasonable hourly charge would be, and take it from there. I did a search on the terms "hourly rate web design" and looking at a few pages, it seems that $30-50/hour would be sort of mid-range. Just starting out, you might want to start in the lower end of the range. This page explores some of the issues involved. http://buildinternet.com/2009/12/a-discussion-on-hourly-rates-in-web-design/ but there are quite a few others out there that address the subject in many ways
