Does someone have some tips for pricing a complex web design (more than 10 screens / with an interface user) and its prototype?

- @Adrian Van Cooten thanks for your answer. Ahah I'm writing everything I'm doing on this project + all travels I do for it, etc. The work is actually super huuuuge. The client wasn't imagining that at first. That's why it was hard for me to make my approximate price on his project. He was thinking of a simple web design but finally, it's more like a complex online interface. But now he understands and financially supports the time we needed to work on the project.
- @Ayub Bush Ok good thank you ! I'm already registrated. :)
- @Capucine Bily also the website will need to be responsive so it usually takes longer to figure out all of the breakpoints.
- Scope out the actual user journeys in detail for at least a day and make sure you include the cost into your estimate. Also agree all of the user journeys with your client. I would produce a project plan based on this scope.Remember you’re not just scoping the screens, you need to capture all of the the states of screens, all of the subtle interactions and error handling. Also get a good understanding of the content that will be required for this website. Most importantly, it’s important to state what you are NOT doing in your scope of work.
- As a established web designing agency we usually don’t charge for singular pages .but I’d recommend to list as a professional website and charge a 20% premium from your standard rate.
- @Abigail Baldwin Thank you. It's a piece of great advice too! The client will better understand how the work has been done and the final price.
- @ɐɹoᗡ ɐuu∀ ˥ Thank you for your advice !
- A lot of web development agencies complete larger projects in sprints, so perhaps you could break it down into different phases? This will make it much easier for you to quote for.
- Hi Capucine,I would recommend to have an idea about your daily rate first and then calculate based on that. depending on your seniority it should be between £180 - £400.
- Hey @Adrian Van Cooten , I am designing and making the prototype (on Figma) of the website. A dev will build it following the design I've made.
- Are you building the website aswell as designing?
- Dear @Florian Zumfelde , thank you for steering me to this podcast. I found It interesting and it helps me to go further into this question of pricing designs. I hope to be able to convince my clients in the right way. :) Btw, I like the format audio/text of 2bobs. Thanks for sharing!
- @Eugene Moroz Thank you so much for the advice Eugene! With the new Apple updates, I can see now precisely how long I was working on each software on my computer (mouse movement or clicks detected idk). It will be very useful with Pomodoro!
- Whatever you estimate of how long it takes, it always tends to take much much longer. Consider starting by working out how long it takes and then double it to allow for that extra capacity. Here's a great podcast on pricing models for creatives: https://2bobs.com/podcast/different-pricing-models
- @Capucine Bily Limit yourself in time, for example, a mood board for 1 hour, a quick analysis of competitors for 1 hour, etc. And also use Pomodoro Tracker :)
- @Eugene Moroz Thanks for your answer. I'm pricing this way but I see hours and hours flying away, it makes me worry about the final price.
- It's a really difficult question. So, say client your hour price :)
