How much to charge for editing some pages in InDesign

Furner · 30th of January 2011 (Sun)

I have an opportunity to edit some pages in InDesign. Basically the client has layouts that were done with stock images in them, and they want their own images to be substituted.

Probably 10-15 pages or so. Will be pretty easy work, I think they either have hi-res jpgs for the images, or I will shoot the images they need.

I have it worked out for what I would charge for shooting, but is a per-page charge reasonable in maybe the $20 range for the InDesign work?

I donno, I wouldn't do any computer work for under $65 per hour.

I'd charge per hour, finding out what the going rate for a graphic designer was and charging that.

Figure out your hourly rate ($65 min) X number of hours you estimate then just give them a total b/c that's what companies want.
