A little slice of humor on this topic is nice for a change. But does anyone have a resource page that reviews different models for charging clients: Hourly, Estimating, All up front, Scheduled payments…I’m struggling with my current method and checking the public sector for best advise..

Some ball park figures would be helpful eg how much can you charge for a basic HTML site, or a site with PHP, ASP, javascript, and so on, or how much value does adding a user editable CMS?
Obviously design quality is important but so are the technical aspects of web site design.
