    How much do you charge for a homepage hero Flash banner?

    Hi all,
    Okay, I realise this may not be the best place to pose such a question but there might be some freelancer developers out there that can throw in some advice.

    Basically I wanted to know from any freelance web developers/digital creative artists/flash developers what the average going rate was for a hero flash banner on a homepage.

    Simple kind of stuff, mostly timeline based and possibly some AS2 or 3 for button & links.

    Obviously this will vary depending on the client, but I wanted to know what kind of rates people charge, or have at least quoted.

    I recently started learning Flash and my employer is keen to contract the work to me rather than paying the design agency that is currently doing it. I haven't been able to get a straight answer on how much they are charged by the current agency, but have asked me to give a quote.

    As I'm new to Flash and freelancing in general I wanted to know what a 'going-rate' fair amount would be - I don't want to undersell myself, or charge so little as to de-value the market.

    (The kind of stuff I'm being asked to do would be similar to the stuff on:
    www.leapfrog.co.uk
    www.hsbc.co.uk
    www.tomy.co.uk
    )

    Or if you know a good place to ask this question please let me know.

    Any advice appreciated!!

    Depends on the quality of graphics. But personally I really really really hate flash on websites for no good reason.

    If you need the graphics designer to do just an animated banner I'd expect 2 hours tops, so probably their minimum fee!

    I tried posting on there but had a look and there's not much activity on that site, seems to be pretty dead.

    Thanks anyway.

    afaik you'd charge based on the amount of hours it'd take you to do it, roughly + any fees if you have to buy images to use it in ie.. istockphoto etc...
