I am planning on creating a website for a small, local coffee shop and I was wondering about how much I should charge. The site will consist of 5 or less pages containing simple things (ex: home, menu, contact, events, etc). How much would you charge for this? Also, if you are the owner of a small business, how much would you be willing to pay for this?

I guess it depends on how fancy the site will be?
If they just want a ’short black’ then $200 - $300 would be reasonable. But if they are after a ’skinny latte’ or ‘mocha’ I would change them more, they do - lol.

Have you ever designed a website for anyone? Are you any good?
A non-interactive site designed by someone who needs to ask how much to charge shouldn’t run more than 300 dollars, even if you are good. Heck, when I was freelancing straight out of college, I worked for free…and just asked the clients to spread my name around and give me a solid reference.
If I’m the owner of a business who is employing someone such as yourself, I would be a little upset if you tried to charge me more than that (500 if you are naturally just REALLY GOOD).

Depends what you can do. If it’s a simple site with program generated pictures; not much.
If you made the pictures yourself; then we are talking.
If it’s just text based; make it for free. It would still be good practice in general.

Do it by the hour. I’d say $30-40 an hour is pretty reasonable. Doing everything right (ie building, testing, ensuring browser compability) it’ll take you around 10 hours or so. That’ll come out to be $300-400, which if the website looks NICE, they wouldn’t mind to pay.
