I do contract Drupal development, and I charge strictly hourly. Don't do fixed bid. You will always get screwed over, and the risk simply isn't worth it. For reference, I charge $150/hour for Drupal development. Sure, you might lose the customers that compare you to the $10-15 guy in India, but that's exactly the kind of customer you don't want to work with anyway. Good customers expect to pay good money for good work.
- marpstar 12y agoI second not doing fixed bid projects. I've been building custom WordPress sites for a local firm who provides me with a design and I charge hourly ($65-$80/hr) to bring those designs to life. This includes building a custom theme, finding and configuring appropriate plugins, writing any code to support custom functionality, and handling the deployment to the hosting provider. Average project cost tends to be around $4,500. Sites with only a few pages and a single layout can cost as little as $2,500 while sites with more eye-catching client-side stuff like transitions and animation are usually in the $10k range.
