How much do I charge to produce website templates?
I have been approached by the company I use to host my portfolio; they want me to create website templates that they can sell to potential clients that use their hosting services.
I am not long out of university, and this is the first ‘proper’ freelance project to come my way, (the other work has been for mates and very relaxed with money etc)
As it is just the template and very little content, do I charge by the hour or product? What would the average price for this be?

Any help would be great, cheers!!
Ps: The Company and I are both in the UK, so everything will be in pounds.

Thanks in advance!

I generally charge 50 pounds per hour.

Plan it out in MS project (or any other project planning pakcage) before giving them a price, then email them a quote as a PDF.

If they're a little unsure about the price, then I give them 10% maybe 15% discount, usually no more though or they'll take you for a ride.
