I'm starting up a small side business of doing web design and PHP/MySQL programming for small businesses in and around the area the I live. All my previous experience with this has been done for myself, or for non-profits.
I'm going to start with a website for a small 'mom and pop' type custom embroidery shop with the whole setup. Secure ordering, catalong, mailing lists, etc.
It's been awile since I've seen the rates that these jobs are being charged, and I'm curious as to what the 'ballpark' hourly figures are for these types of jobs?
I've seen some very high quotes from consulting firms and the like, but what is this type of work really going for these days? If anyone could help me out with a range for different services like web design, coding, database programming, it would be greatly appreciated.
(I'm a Computer Engineering and Computer Science student in college, so I have a strong background in programming. It will not be an amateur job.)
Thank you in advance.
