I don't know how many times I can say this before it sinks into the entire world: hourly rates are your friend. I worked for salary for a very long time. I put in long hours all the time. When I worked a 40 hour week, I was paid the same amount as I was when I worked a 60 hour week. This is because salaries fuck people in overtime. The same is true for flat-rate quotes; you end up, nine times out of ten, doing 40 hours of work on something you bid at 20--and you get no extra money. If you're going to do flat-rates (which are considered "professional," in some circles), then put a cap on it. For example, I bid out a project for $600, I put a cap of 30 hours on that cost. If I go over, it's an additional $40/hr coding, $80/hr design. That being said, $400 for a single page is not only a silly idea in principle, but an incredibly gargantuan number. I do full sites for $600, and that's unlimited pages, full design, and integration into a server of some kind. I do full eCommerce sites for between $1200 and $2000, generally, unless it's something huge. $400 for one, single page is outrageous--it also tells your customers that a single page is good, which of course it is not. We'll leave that for a rant on a different day, however. And as much as I wish I could support new 'companies' out there, I have to say this: If you need help with contracts, bidding, etc....well, you're not ready for it. It may sound brazen for me to say that, but I've helped plenty of other people start up "companies," and most of them failed within ten days if they didn't already have a good idea on how to write a proposal, or bid a project, or sign NDAs.
