I've been designing and developing websites in WordPress and Joomla for about 10 years. I'm usually doing projects that average around $5000.
An old client of mine asked me what I charge for a "quick landing page in Optimize Press". I'm fortunate to be at the point where I usually turn down jobs like this, but I want to do this for him, because I'm hoping for future bigger projects with the client. What is the absolute lowest price that you guys would charge to set up a simple WordPress site? Is it appropriate to limit the Scope of Work to a maximum number of hours on a fixed price job?
I'd like to add language to my Scope of Work that says something like "Based on our conversation, I believe that the project will require less than 3 hours of work. Developer will provide a maximum of 3 hours of work at the fixed rate of $XXX. Beyond 3 hours, client agrees to pay developer at hourly rate of $XX/hr."
I've never tried to do this before. After doing some Googling I have found that this is called a "Time and Materials Not To Exceed (T&M NTE)". Has anyone tried this in the web design/dev vertical? I don't understand if there is a difference between a "T&M NTE contract" and an "hourly rate contract".
What do you guys think?
