Whats the going rate? CMS

[psyris]

Im currently doing a bit of study into CMSs
Im just curious with such CMSs like Typo 3 and Mambo, what is the going rate that people charge for designing / theme development and or for redevelopment / extention consulting of such CMS's.
Any input would be most appreciated

I charge my normal rate for website design, plus $50 for installation.

[psyris]

ah ok why is that?, any one else with any thoughts?

[Neupix]

Well mainly because it still involves all the same techniques, coding, etc. that is involved in website design. Just because it will be running of a CMS, doesn't mean the work I need to do is any different.

I charge the additional $50 for installation because it takes me one hour to install a template into a CMS system ($50/hr is my going rate).

Just my price.. and if i think its enough i install free, not enough.. i charge extra.

just curious what are the actual numbers that are charged to your clients

Depends on the customer.. you can ask more for a company site.. then a clan site you know.

I use both for many of my clients.. very powerful CMS. I never charge for the script but only for the design, installation, setup and inserting content. Also I always count $50 in my estimate that goes to the development team. I have tried many CMS and found those 2 the best. Joomla is a spin-off from the Mambo development team.
