Hi everyone - this is my first post. I've been checking the site out for some time, and I finally need ask something...

I'm doing my first paid web job - what does one charge for an animated GIF? I work full time in a company and get a regular salary, so this is a first for me.

I've made about 12 similar to the attached.

I really have no idea what to charge.

help?

how long did it take you ?
how much do you charge per hour ?

The studio I work in charges £150/studio hour. it took me 4.5 hours. £675 seems really excessive for 12 animated gifs. That's why I asked - to see if anyone knew of any 'animated gif protocol.'

£20 a pop = £240 for the lot , sound reasonable ?

Yeah - that's sounds more reasonable. i might charge a little bit more, £300, it was a last minute job to get them done for this morning at 8am. It mean't working silly hours late last night.

Cheers for the reply
