the going rate for designing a web site?

[webbie3]

Hi,
I was wondering what other developers are charging as an hourly rate for desingning/developing a basic web site?
Thanks!

its not per hour, its per page.

I guess what i am trying to figure out is what to change to maintain and update the site. What is the rate for that?

[spec]

developers rarely maintain website content, the webmaster does.
Most of the time its on a contract basis.
There is no set rate.

Hey...

To answer your question from personal experience...

Per page I charge 40 dollars and down... for example I just completed a 30+ page website that did not include any programming languages other than HTML so I charged a fee of $28 canadian per page.

Also, I do have an hourly rate that I charge when it comes to updates. I charge $20 canadian per hour and I brake it down into 15 minute increments at $5 per 15 minutes.

And to note on what spec said about the updating question, I update more than 8 sites right now for businesses, so yes, I do have a set hourly rate.

Hope this helped.
