attn: web builders

[Bandmaster]

So, I am incredibly busy with my day job and making mouthpieces and such. I need my mouthpiece site developed asap. Any players here do that kind of stuff or know anyone? I could do it myself but I could just be making more mouthpieces instead...I got some quotes from web developers and there were kind of pricey. $600-$1000+

At $50 per hour that works out to 12 to 20 hours of work. That doesn't sound pricey to me. Most website that I do take a lot more time than that.

I forgot to mention the businesses I have talked to require that you host with them. An additional $40-$100 a month. I already host for just $40 a year.

At $50 per hour that works out to 12 to 20 hours of work.

I was told $120 an hour.

For small websites I only charge $10 per month for web hosting, $30 for real large sites. $100 per month is absolutely rediculous unless they are trying to push you into a dedicated server, which you don't need. I also work from home, so I have no large overhead to pay for like most of the large firms. When I was doing contract work for another company a while back they were billing out my time at $125 per hour.

But no matter what, they customer still has to take the time to supply the general content (text and descriptions) to the web developer. In my experience that is the biggest bottleneck when developing websites.

Bandmaster: Do you have any templates you would sell?

All my websites are custom designed, so sorry, I don't have any templates. There are lots of websites on the internet that have some available, but they all need to be reworked to fit you individual needs.
