I'm finally confident enough coding that I feel like I can offer it as a service but I have NO CLUE what to charge for it. I put up a premade to test the waters and well. It sold better than my GRAPHICS usually sell for so I won't be pricing it that high.


 


Here's a couple examples I have floating around:

How much do you think I should charge? I can do iFrames, and scrolls (placed with TS because I'm lazy but that's about all I use it for anymore), and I might start playing witih accordions in the near future. Can't do an expandable if my life depended on it though.

All I can tell you is I charge $15mil for a "tabbed" layout like my own (only $10mil if the person provides their own pattern).  That includes styling the navigation bar, the animal headers and tables, the player info boxes, the footer, player name and message links, everything.  I've seen others mimicking the style I used in layouts like this one [ http://horsephenomena.com/home.php?id=15398 ] and charging way more than I did/would; I do those for $10mil right now.

Entirely up to you what you charge.  I do think many people overcharge for something that can be really cookie-cutter.  If you already have the code written, and you are just changing colors/images, it shouldn't cost that much.  If you are writing an entirely new code for somebody (like with image map layouts), then charge more because you really are starting from scratch.  Does that make sense?

I would say maybe around $5-15mil for one like the examples you listed.
