Question

I'm a freelancer, a company I'm working with (which has a government as customer) asked me to write an app (web-based and/or system) to allow them archiving documents, and making them downloadable by given users/groups.

I'm planning to make it with APIs, and to make a light web interface and a cross-platform desktop app.

My question is: How much can I sell it? Based on time developing? A very light, free and nude app (same as dropbox), then make them pay for each functionality (users/groups/ssl/resume downloads/desktop app...)? Or make a global price, based on approximate cost, based on I don't know what ?

It's my first closed source project.

Explanation / Answer

Generally you and the company you work for have to be agree about a delay. This delay has to define development time and debugging time. This delay (in days of work) will define the actual price you estimate your work. So you have to know how much you want to sell a day of your work (fyi in France a freelance programmer -web or system- is paid 400 to 700 euros / $500 to $880 -it can go much much higher than that-). Then if you work for a big company you may deal some bonuses. If the company is happy with your work. If everything is fine, you can deal the extra features that will come after your initial deal.
