I am willing to make a similar deskbar for any forum or website that could benefit from it, but I do not know how much to charge for it. For forums I'd like to be fair about it and maybe on a sliding scale according to how many members they currently have. I don't think a forum with less than 100 members should have to pay as much as one with 100,000 members. For large blogs and websites, I don't know how much to charge, but again, I'd want it to be less than a newer site with less traffic and page views. I'd like the pricing to be fair to everyone that would want one. So, if a little guy hoping to become big some day decides to get a deskbar early on, it would be a bargain in the long run. There is no spyware in it, no crap, I am an ethical gal that doesn't believe in that stuff. The only tracking in it is an extra parameter added to the search URL to aid in gathering statistical data on usage, identifying that a search was done with the deskar, rather than with some other software or method. (and I could leave that out if the site owner insisted that he didn't want or need it) So, take a look at the page, download it, install it, try it out if you would like, and help me decide what to charge for my services. Or if you want one, make me an offer.

This is why I don't make very much from my coding...because I really don't know what to charge.

Does anyone on friendfeed have any experience with pricing this type of custom work?
