Hi all,
I'm in a dispute with someone living in the state of Georgia about an hourly price for updating and maintaining a website. It is not a regular daily, weekly or monthly thing, just when there is something to update/change. Could someone please suggest what a reasonable hourly fee would be? And as soon as possible, preferrably 'yesterday'. ;) Thanks in advance!

How about Google the minimum wage rate for that state in America use that as a guide for your absolute lowest price

Mind you having said that it is up to you at the end of the day however little you are prepared to accept. Stick to your guns and be prepared to tell them to shove it where the sun doesn't shine :D

75-125 per hour depending on the scope of the up-dates seems reasonable.
I'm in TN btw.

Thanks, folks! I have been cheap, I understand, taking $50 per hour. But still they think it is expensive. I may follow your advice, Wayan! :lol:
