Programmers - How much do you charge ?

Jace · 10-10-2005

I am not a programmer, but I will chime in as someone who uses programmers every now and then. I have never paid someone above $30 an hour, and to be honest, i rarely pay by the hour, and I rarely know how many hours someone took. I get a flat rate quote for each job I need

The last job I needed was a backend for our exclusive girls on ecstasyglass.com, the programmer went in and made me an admin and user interface for all the girls we have make exclusive lines for us, so they could track their sales and product views....it took him 2 nights (he works a day job), and he charged me $100...it is a pretty nice system too, exactly what we wanted. All it does really, is pull #'s from the database and place them in tables, and also allows me to choose what products are assigned to each girl

so, in my experience in the adult industry, $10-20 an hour is pretty common

and let me also point out, this guy is the lead programmer for one of the larger affiliate programs, so it wasn't shitty work
