Ask HN: How much to charge for first website?

I work in a small business, and i have a pretty good grasp of web design from months of practice.

I offered to create my work´s website from scratch, but being my first profesional work of the sorts i have no idea how much to charge. It would be a simple web, no forms or logins, and I´m confident i can do a good work. Ideas?

Here's what I would do:

$400 for the template $200 for variation of template $50-$75 per page, depending on complexity

If the template is super fancy you may need to charge more. Special application coding (custom PHP, ASP, C#, etc.) code at hourly $75 or more per hour.

If they're smart, they'll just make the website part of your work responsibilities and get it for free.

go high - shoot for $2-3000. like peg_leg said, if they have custom coding charge much more.
