OK probably no one will read this but whatever....

I ended up charging $20 an hour and the total job ended up begin $800.

I would not use Contribute to build a web page. In fact, I have gotten to hate it for its limitations. On the other hand it is exactly what my client needs because it is fool proof.

I used Dreamweaver MX which I highly recomend.

How much is fair value for a web page?

I am "designing" a web page for a local business. I say "designing" because I am using a template from Contribute 3 with modifications. The client knows this and in fact I just ordered them a copy of Contribute from Amazon so they could do maintenance of the site.

Without getting into discussions of the merits of Contribute or templates, what is a fair hourly fee for setting up a web page and teaching someone to maintain it? Its a basic business site (real estate). I am planing to host it on one of the big hosts with one of the $10 a month plans (traffic will be way under their limit). I will also be doing some basic Photoshop work to make their logo digital, prepare photos for the web, etc. All told I figure I will spend 5 hours on it as long as they dont change their mind too often.

This is not my full time job but I know what I am doing. There is a small chance that this job could lead to other work for other businesses but im not really intrested in "turning pro."

Thanks!!!
