How much should I charge to design a Website for a small business?
How much are people paying to have a website designed for their business? I designed the website for our family owned company. But now I have several people asking me to design sites for them and I'm not sure how much to charge.
They are other small companies that just want a basic design….no online sales or anthing like that. Just a basic site that describes who the company is and what they do.
Any thoughts?
Here is the site that I designed:

Post the link to your family owned company. I'll give you an estimate. I too develop professionally.
If you don't want to post the site on here, just email it.
danielc@stlbridge.com
EDIT:
The site you made is worth 500 dollars maximum. It's an obvious template site. It's good, though. A flat rate of 500 dollars is what I'd charge. No more. No less.
OTHER EDIT:
@ LANSINGS,
I don't think he actually asked for a critique of his website. He asked how much to charge based on the site he's made.

I'd say charge separately for:
initial layout plans (with 2 revisions),
each change in plans after initial 2 changes(and contact hours)
actual hours of coding.
price for site updates .
You *really* want to discourage people from making changes to the plans every 2 days especially after you've started coding.
I like your design, but I have a few unsolicited suggestions for future coding:
Don't use font tags, ever. Also hand-in-hand with this is don't use the "style" attribute. link a stylesheet, and use classes and ids instead. It will make your sites better.
Don't link the words in the top menu, link the table-cells, it'll menu a lot easier to hit with the mouse.
Your bottom logo file is noisy, for text-based graphics with a lot of a solid color, use GIF. The encoding will make near colors the SAME to compress, where jpeg sort of approximates, good for images, bad for logos with expanses of a solid color (also you can make the background of it clear).
Superb choice of opacity and image on the Employment page. Very nice.
Instead of using nbsp to make a thousand spaces to line up the text on the contacts page, either use the HTML <ul> <li> tags, or use css with margin, or both.

You should fix that site first, you have some HTML validation errors like having two opening body tags on some pages.
As for the cost of the websites, it really depends on what they want, but at the end of the day, charge what you think they will pay. You can get websites made for thousands of dollars or less than $100 if you know where to look.
You are also using styles to center the content of divs, then using an obsolete center tag inside it to do the same thing
