    Question Whats the going rate? CMS

    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

    Regards

    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).

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

    Mambo - Joomla

    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.
