What price tag to set for the integration of CMS MODX on the site?

Question

Freelance

Good day, gentlemen back-enders!
I do front-end. An order was received for a small but sophisticated website for a technology office. Only four pages: main, contacts, catalog and documents. The first two pages are static, the last ones are filled by the customer, for which the CMS was needed.
At the stage of finalizing the layout, it turned out that I would have to deal with any convenient (simple, understandable) CMS. I understand PHP with a hat, but somehow before that there was no time and need to understand the intricacies of content management systems, so my choice fell on the simplest (for me) MODX system on the threshold of entry.
Where ours did not disappear, I coped with this challenge. Successfully. It's time to evaluate the work done.
What we have:
- in a few evenings, I accumulated hours for 20–25 lessons with CMS (not everything turned out right away, I redid something, I didn’t know and didn’t suspect something, I watched tutorials on the Pipe, etc.);
- pure work on designing the admin panel ecosystem and its implementation - 12 hours out of the total time;
- filling the site and documentation for the customer - 6 hours out of the total time.
Catalog - a collection of documents with fields: title, image, description in three fields (design feature).
Documents - a collection of documents with fields: title, image, link to the resource.
In total, I understand that it’s not worth demanding from the customer for 20-25 hours, because it’s not his cant, but I agreed. But in 15-18 hours, you can ask, or not?
Therefore, to the point. How much does such work cost in the current realities? How long does it take an experienced MODX developer to do this kind of work? What is the hourly rate for this kind of work?
Thank you for your attention!

Answer 1

You are asking the wrong question.
Put the question right.
Step away from the monitor two meters.
Look at the question from afar.
Turn your head a little.
Now the real price should show up

Answer 2

Only four pages: main, contacts, catalog and documents. The first two pages are static, the last ones are filled by the customer, for which the CMS was needed.
Catalog - a collection of documents with fields: title, image, description in three fields (design feature).
Documents - a collection of documents with fields: title, image, link to the resource.

1. This is a regular blog: functionality - any CMS out of the box.

- pure work on designing the admin panel ecosystem and its implementation - 12 hours out of the total time;

2. Did you design the admin panel?! Something I doubt!
Total: hours for layout and creating a template for CMS (5 hours) +

filling the site and documentation for the customer - 6 hours out of the total time

+ 1 hour to install and configure CMS = 12 hours of work .

Answer 3

I will take responsibility!!!
say: the rate is $10 per hour!)
500 r. it’s really small, but here it’s fixed and not dependent on you ... and shove both the pipe and cms and the front there: 20 + 12 + 6 = 38 hours * $ 10
if it’s “inconvenient” you can divide the training time / 2
19 hours * $ 10
BUT first, tell me the full price (even if you yourself are afraid of it !!!) if there is a bargain, then it’s from her ... It rolled!)
