how many $
I'm an independent computer service technician. I do work for 3 companies in my city. I charge $30.00 per hour to the companies I represent when I do work on their behalf.
Recently, one of the company's I work for asked me to redesign/modernize their website. That's not really my strength and I told them so, but gave it a shot anyway. They REALLY liked the result (I know nothing of design, but studied Art for 4 years). I spent 33 hours designing the new web site, there's a tiny bit of Javascript on the home page, but the other 4 pages are script free.
I have 2 questions - what would be an appropriate charge for the initial creation? Secondly, this company gives away $50.00 gift certificates every month and they want me to update the winners every month - what should I charge for that?

I charge per hour for everything unless I have quoted a fixed price.

So at my current service price of $30.00 that would be $990.00 - is that acceptable? And what about the ongoing work of listing the contest winners every month?
I would still charge my hourly rate though it would be a minimum of at least 1/2 hour. To do that work, you have to set aside anything else you might be working on to get that done.
