Look at it this way, if you run a company, all you charge has to cover taxes, equipment, your software licenses, your salary etc. Based on all these factors, it's common to charge around $70 - $100/hour in order to cover all expenses and get a salary out of it. Divide $40k into 80 and you get 500 hours, that's 12,5 40 hour weeks. Now, take a look at all the work involved in a site like this: - You will need a solid requirement specification, that'll take you about 2 weeks at least since the client don't know anything about web and you'll have to do all the work. - You will need reasearch on all the legal aspects on storage & handling of medical journals, at least a week or two (reserve time for eventual application for permits). - You will need to design the database and the logic to meet all the demands, probably another 2 weeks. - You will need to design a rock solid athorisation system, including SSL or similar, probably around a weeks work. - You will need to get licenses & perhaps hardware for the video conferance thing, that's $$ & probably around 2 weeks go set it up and get it running. - You will have to work out all the visual design with the client, probably 1-2 weeks here as well. - You have to get a host that supports all this stuff, a week more? Now what have we got? Low count 10 weeks so far, high count 12 weeks of work... What's left, 1-2 weeks of the 12,5 available on $40k In this time you have to code and test the complete site, and get it live... As Doc said, this is estimates based on a first time job of this magnitude, but I would not be surprised if you broke the $40k barrier (depending on your prices of course). /Dan [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/sig3.gif[/img] [/url] -{ a vibration is a movement that doesn't know which way to go }- Loading...
