How much should I charge to make a website for a friend?

reseller hosting
Traveler001 asked:


Hello,

YAY!

I got my first web design project. This is for a friend, and I dont intend to charge full price, but frankly I dont know what to charge.

Basically this friend is a Psychologist and the project sounds easy. Basically a 5-page site - a simple template, and she will provide the text.

She wants me to register the URL, get the hosting set up, and put the site together. I have my own reseller account so basically the hosting will be free for her -or I can charge a nominal fee. build it into the cost. I dont know if I should charge her a hourly rate or just one flat price for everything, but the entire site should probably take a day to do.

I figure that I want to do a few of these to build up my portfolio and go from there. And since she is a friend, my thinking is that I wont gouge her with the price or anything. But I really dont know what would be a fair price. What do you suggest? She has another friend who is talking about getting a website and her husband also has a small business but no site.. So this could be the beginning of something..

Oh another question. How much space should I allot for a site like this? I was thinking 100 MB is more than enough. 5 web pages using the same template - some photos - maybe one flash animation - but that is it..

Thanks much
