independent developer to do about it, but it faces a problem in check rates properly, some might ask a small amount makes you move away from it completely and the other asks huge sum makes you re-think of it.

As for the developers, Determining the price of the project WordPress is very difficult, the matter interfere with it a lot of accounts and things, and determine the price Courier difficult as well, but to say that you need to give a fixed price customer (after estimating the number of hours and hit her in the price of time) you need to know how much it will need from you specifically, you do not want to underestimate your right, do not want to increase the work you shall take more than your right or the customer away.
The following figures will be based on my experience, it is dedicated to the developer of WordPress expert and experienced in the matter as well Tmrsh installing WordPress on hosted the.
Bad developer may ask a lower price, but it will take more time and may not give you excellent results, so it is advisable to follow a good developer because it will meet the owner satisfactory results.
Time is money
In this article we will determine the value of work based on the time required to implement it, so we will divide the work and WordPress are common and give it time.
Time and money are two sides of the same coin, you Stsar project from the time that you think you will need to end it, so this article will be useful for both developers and customers to understand how long it takes some WordPress missions.
These times are based on my personal experience therefore it may differ from you too much, but as close as you can get to, but then you modified the basis of the work done by the circumstances.
The last note, "h" or "min" means the net time that has been exploited to think or work only on the client's project and nothing but this, so a conversation 30 minutes with the client accounted for 30 minutes, and 5 minutes to set up your computer and 10 to bring coffee and 10 minutes to solve the problem at the site accounted for 10 minutes.
Times are approximate

Shorter duration to develop the site WordPress
This shorter period of time the real work to prepare the site WordPress unusable for the customer. These times either come from a past experience or a relative estimate of the least possible time.
These times include only working time, and does not contain lateral work (initial consultation, planning, selection, experimentation by the client, send working in batches, etc.). They just simply a collection of works mentioned Vouka such as the choice to host and install WordPress by some simple, such as modifying the interface site in a simple action.
A blog is very simple WordPress template along with a simple WordPress inauguration, no alterations: (2) hours.
This will include the installation of WordPress and install WordPress template for hosting and preparing the domain and site preparation, links the name along with the installation of add or two.
WordPress site to a company or a project (home page, a page on the site, contact page, and perhaps a blog) to allocate a paid template is very simple: 8 hours.
This includes the minimum time for the launch site WordPress to know a company or a service, it may include this form continues, and a little amendment to the design.
E-store is simple: 20 hours.
This will include signed a simple WordPress uses Okoumirs and is capable of displaying and classification of products and handle customer service.
Lateral work on customer projects
Lateral work, meant the number of hours that the work was not directly on the development of the site, ie, all the work is technical. Lateral work (primary integrator for consulting) may not be calculated or is calculated (post mail client contains observations on the work).
Overall preliminary talks and counseling before starting paid employment: (1) hour to 4 hours.
Time to provide the size of the project: 45 minutes.
Continues to both sides, includes daily communication of project status, notes, payment and the like: 3 to 6 hours for a project less than 40 hours size.
"Surprises" It means that the customer may have to host the opaque and complex (to host the Chinese language, for example), unexpected problems, customer training on the use of some properties of WordPress: 0 to 8 hours for the project is shorter than 40 hours.
Almost all these projects have a side business, some of which may have more if you encounter problems in communicating with the client, or the client insists on getting more visits.
How the passage of time in a project
Most of the projects give you the feeling that you "almost finished working" for most of the time the project. This is because the transition from a "building site" to "put the site to the public," reveals a lot of new details and complexities that may not appear in the beginning of the work, as an example of hosting very slow, or not work with some additions or even with a template because made a copy of PHP in which makes you navigate the project for another host, or that the solution which was implemented to communicate with the client may not work as you expect, which makes you modify, or find another solution.
Building site (most of what was covered in the submission of the initial project): 60% of the life of the project.
Segment in which you feel that the work "concluded Sonhia today," transfer ready site, test site with the client, fix some of the problems that have not been shown before, and improvements had not been agreed upon before, and new additions: 40% of the project time.
The life cycle of the actual project
This is the expected time to complete the development of the entire site unusable as well as overtime, taking into account that the project becomes more complex with the end.
The actual time required to build a WordPress site: Duration of the "shortest time to develop the site WordPress" multiplied by 1.5 to 3.
Enlarge the value of time varies from client to another and from one project to another and from one level of communication with the client and moments find a solution to the given problem.
Projects that are difficult to quantify, Business Technology
Here we will talk briefly about the projects and technical WordPress that require more than "installing WordPress and modify the template is ready." We talk about these projects separately because the size and value are difficult to quantify because the size of the project is not about the duration of the communication with the client, but the technical requirements therein.
This complexity is difficult to be determined at the beginning of the project (if you know the value of complexity, you are most likely to have reached the end of the project) so technical projects is difficult to determine their value.
Build a template for WordPress page from design PSD ready: 3 to 10 hours depending on the complexity of the design.
Build a WordPress site integrated options on a paid template, with a large adjustment to the design and many special additives (such as a private personal calendar opposed complex images): 40 to 100 hours to the project.

Writing a new addition completely solved a unique problem has not been solved by: 20 to 300 hours (out of some short problems to more complex things such as commercial or domestic companies) Systems.
The time required to write and publish an article
In my personal experience, this is required to take out the article to the public Time:
Fast article talking about something: 2 to 4 hours.
An article saying, audited and thinker where well: 4 to 7 hours.
Long article uncharacteristically, the thinker, with high quality (the kind that spreads widely and rapidly): 7 to 20 hours.
