How long will it take you? How much do you wish to make per hour? Expect that it will take much more time than you expect.
If you had to put a dollar amt on it I’d say web design ranges from $35 to $100/hr. With the interactive programming side being closer to the $100/hr range, and the cutting and pasting text into an interface (maintenance basically) or low skill design being closer to $35/hr.
If it’s a big project and you need the money, you’ll probably take less per hour. If you have lots of clients and this is a hassle, you might want to price it high enough that it’s worth it.
There’s so many factors that you’ll want to run the math and make a bid probably.

Thanks a lot Bret, that was a big help. Actually, it is now going to be a 100+ page project, with 3 languages, I wont be doing any hardcore programming, no maintenence; as my client has someone for that, perhaps I could pitch to do the maintenence, and keep the animations updated?
His current guy only knows programming, and I know mostly design and a bit of programming. So I dont think I would be risking much, as clients will be using paypay to complete their transactions, and we wont be storing any private information on the sites database. This is a good opportunity, as the company is shifting its marketing image, logo (which i designed), and website. I am a new designer for the company, so why not be the new programmer as well?
