It's for a freelance photgrapher. it'd take about 2-3 weeks.

I've built something similar recently, where an admin tool batch imports photographs and scales them, and puts them for sale automatically - very swift process for the client.

This took me around 2/3 weeks in total - 100 hours, could adapt to flash so...

£1500?
(with allowance to resell the framework)

yea, I would estimate at around 2,000 USD for a project like that. What you need to know is how will the photos be added to the flash site. That is going to be the trickiest part of it all.

100 hours would be £2500 min for my time, but I don't see it would take me that long

For flash portfolio sites with my standard photographer cms, I start at £2000 and up up up. Really depends on the photographer though. I mainly deal with advertising blokes so they've normally got quite a wad of cash - you just have to get it out of them

Most quotes sound a bit low. Don't most flash sites start at around $5k minimum? I think a buddy of mine told me 2advanced charged his company around $50k for a very basic flash site with minimal content management.

2advanced!!! well what do you expect, they are among the industry leaders in the field with an impressive client list, your humble freelancer will always be able to undercut the bigger companies - but I agree the quotes listed here seem low to me, a bigger agency would start at $5k minimum

Some of the prices posted up here are way too cheap - £1500 for 100 hours work! That's fine if you are doing it in your spare time and have another means of income but it equates to an annual salary of about £10,000 for a freelancer.

In my view you need to charge bare minimum £30 an hour if you're working self-employed, but don't just take my word for it.

There's a really useful article here:

That looks handy.

Aye which is about what mine equates to, very, very basic site for £2000 only done one for that with the rest spread between £3,500 & £6,000. Depends on the photographer really.
