I had my daughter set up a website for our business. It was n't anything extravagant but I'm not good at that sort of stuff nor do I have the patience to learn. So the question is how much should I pay her? She put 10-12 hours into it. Anyone have an idea what a company would have charged? Thanks for the help. |

not sure without seeing the site itself. wordpress blogs on flippa are selling for less then $100 USD now, so it all depends on what kind of a site she build for you. |

On the other hand, a professional joint will charge you $50 USD+ an hour; more if there is any sort of programming (Database, javascript, etc). My ISP is happy to charge $80 USD per hour for basic html, logos, etc.; $150 USD/hour for programming. Maybe give her some spending cash, and a more sizeable chunk in a college fund or stocks? (It also kinda depends on how old she is, and what sort of immediate expenses she has
) |

napthyme has it right. The type of site makes a big difference. If it's just a templated site with no real programming, just typing in text, that's not really a costly item. The other thing to consider is did she spend 10-12 hours on it where a pro would have done the same thing in 3? Learning isn't a bad thing but it's not something you would (normally) pay for at an hourly rate. I say normally because some companies will try to get a client to pay for on the job training. The better approach is to probably figure out what HER normal rate of pay is and give her that. |

Thanks for the advice. It was just a templated site so no actual programming but I'm sure still a hassle. |

Then her normal rate of pay sounds like a fair deal. |
