My BG: CS graduate, portfolio website with react/next.js/aos/animations/carousel. I’ve built multiple web projects.

Graphic design: Photoshop, Illustrator, inDesign, imovie.

Client needs to renew their domain they don’t know what happened to past website so I think this is something I need to charge them for and include in the proposal. Summary of what they want:

* Domain renewal/purchase/research

* Copyright research

* Brochures

* Simple static web page/host/domain set up. I usually use vercel but this is needing to be simpler than usual. They don’t like GoDaddy.

* Social media marketing and graphics.

* SEO

* Also seems to need assistance with brand strategy, pricing, membership tiers, etc.

* They already have a logo. I think I will just tell them if they need additional tweaks we can edit the proposal.

They use Canva and said they have a lot of resources already with that. So I can reuse some of that and also base the design off of a previous color palette. They want simple and functional over fancy and it seems they may be on a budget. I haven’t used canva a lot but I can figure it out I usually use Adobe.

Since this is kind of easier work without all the complicated and annoying ass coding in react I’m not sure if I should price it lower. It should be pretty straight forward I feel like. I told them a web template type build will probably work better for their small business since it requires less maintenance.

I’m not entirely sure how to price this without losing the job. I kind of need more to put on my portfolio since I’ve made fictional websites as placeholders. It seemed they were impressed enough to take me on but imposter syndrome has me fearing putting together pricing. I checked google and ChatGPT but I wanted to ask people who know more.
