well ok that was an interesting little quote about the jokes and stuff... was sort of funny.. anyways yes that is what he wants it for (but... i guess anybody can go to it he says now) but from his worksheets and stuff for reason of the web site it says nothing about general public.. and from talking to him he says also the impression that its not for general public either.. at least thats what he keeps telling me. so if $30 an hour for html and php and sql to be in the same pages + the database setup testing and all that sort isnt good enough for pay what is a good price an hour for that sort of stuff.. i really dont know where to look and i dont know what is the best.. i live in the USA to be exact..
the person i work with is charging really high rates like for a flat straight html page (only 1 page) $80 but for first page he wants $170 and that has standard default text 1 email link 5 other links and 90 graphics.. every page after that is 3$80 unless on maintainence contract and then the prices cheaper by $20 or so.. and all i get is $30/hour and thats doing php html and sql all in the same pages.. i did one web page system for a client of his that took me a few weeks to write cuz i just got into php/sql right then and by the time i got done with it the whole web page system was like 230k on the disk without the db included (ok so i might be a beginner and my code might be a little sloppy but the point is that it works) well i am getting paid $0 for it so i guess its free(????) and for the client im doing it for he told me the most we can charge for it is $15/hour for any add ons or changes after it goes on the server.. he told me that the system i just got done writing was valued retail at $400 at the least and could be worth more than that but my pay is getting severely discounted from what i can tell (like i said i dont know what a standard fair price to charge would be) he sets up the rates for pay not me.. sigh i have done about 2 months of work and havent seen 1 pay check yet and its getting on my nerves i need money to pay bills not to do code for his clients for free.. but anyways i guess the reason for the very cheap pay for this pastor client is because he is on social security and only gets like $500 a month for money to live off of and cant afford to pay more than $40 for something... need help trying to sort this stuff out.. any body that can help? sorry if this is the wrong kind of post for this list but need to vent out to somewhere... ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
