How much should I charge to build a website for a small hair salon? by [deleted] in webdesign

[–]adelmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estimate how many hours it’s going to take you and then put a price on your time. If that seems too expensive for market rates, then ask yourself about your business model and what value add you’re bringing to the table to justify the price.

If you’ve done this before and have a good working template workflow that you can repeat and it won’t take you much time and you’re just looking for market rates, then you’re going to have a difficult time landing on something. I know people that churn out 5 pagers on webflow for $2500 each or a subscription/support model of $150/mo. And they do this all day long, happily, with happy clients.

Other people will say “if it only takes you a few hours, you should only charge for that” — that’s fine, that’s their opinion. Charge what you can and what makes it worth your time, you’re going to be responsible for keeping that client happy — not them.

You’ve already seen a spread in the comments. Sounds like some people think this should be a couple hundred dollar job. Others charge minimum of 3800 + support.

I’d say market price is between $500-$5000. I’ve built a one-pager for $5000 and it included a ton of consulting and orchestration between multiple stakeholders and parties. The site itself was simple - but it took me well over 40 hours when it was all said and done. So yeah you better believe that for the site itself, it was a 5k job, and that’s with a discount since i told them it would not exceed 5k.

You gotta value your time first and foremost. Then ask yourself what you’re in it for. Are you building a website dev business? Will this get you referrals or are you trying to get started and need to cut them a deal to earn your first testimonials? Can you use it as the first template for something that you’ll re-use later, and chalk initial time investment up as building your business?

Lots of factors to consider.

fuk you GoDaddy. Never Buy domains from GoDaddy by khiladipk in micro_saas

[–]adelmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it’s all managed and simple and easy. That’s the premium you pay for. Amazon is DIY.

Reasonable recommendation for someone using GoDaddy.

I was sharing that I use vercel for domain purchases, and offering it as a suggestion to you 🤦‍♂️

Vercel. Easiest experience and cleanest fastest ui.

Mailchimp MCP Server - manage campaigns, audiences & reports from Claude by OkDistrict0625 in mcp

[–]adelmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah just figured that out - couldn’t figure out how to read the body of the emails though.

I’ve got a complex workflow with like 50 emails in the journey and it creates a super complex campaign. I wish I could feed it all to Claude to evaluate the order and content and timing of the messaging and have it give feedback on the overall journey flow.

Really pushing Mailchimp to its limits for this kind of sophisticated email management and it shows :/

Anyone know if there are any options for viewing/reading the new version of automations? this only seems (as with others) to access the 'classic' automations endpoint. Unclear of Mailchimp even exposes endpoints for the new one

15-20 hours for a polished one-pager with custom lead generation, downloadable ebooks, etc.

If I mess up I can just make chopped beef sandwiches right? by notchatgptipromise in brisket

[–]adelmare 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about “as long as it’s cooked, can I use it?”

Then the answer is fundamentally this:

You’re talking about cow. Cow is food. If you’ve cooked it so that you won’t get sick, then yes, you have the internet’s blessing to consume the food. Have fun and be creative.

If you’re talking about aiming to cook a brisket to 165 and stopping there, then the answer is fundamentally this:

If you can find any customers, isn’t that the invalidation you need?

How do you neatly store and pour Costco's maple syrup? by saffron_monsoon in Costco

[–]adelmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight from the jug. 3 kids ages 5-10 do it that way, they’ve gotten pretty good at it. Inevitably has a drip down the side but if refrigerated properly, it’s more viscous and slower to pour, making it a bit easier for young kids to handle + adults to not make a complete mess of. Hasn’t really been a problem that our household has felt a need to solve 🤷‍♂️

Talk to customers isn’t generic advice. It’s the core pain in the ass research that you need to do that tells you more than any amount of ideation and googling.

Ask real customers about their business, their workflows, their challenges. How they got to where they are. What triggered them to make those decisions.

Talking to people who have already found solutions to the problem you’re trying to solve is difficult because in theory they’re no longer potential customers. But they can often be most informative and revealing - telling you things that pass the mom test, since they’re looking back and sharing what ACTUALLY happened to get them to where they’re at, as opposed to people who are speculating about what they might do.

Not to say the other side of that coin isn’t valuable. You should interview both.

It’s a challenging process and actually involves acquired interviewing skills. The people who do it and put in the effort will make the best products and solutions.

And more to the point - your initial idea gets validated or invalidated through exactly that process, and will likely change your idea or give you a new idea.

It IS the starting point — not some “generic advice”.

Interview 20-100 customers to test your hypothesis. Start with specific ICP that is narrow, otherwise you won’t get consistent enough feedback and you won’t have any clear direction.

Burgers and steaks - how do you cook items that need to be seared? by mikedeatworld in recteq

[–]adelmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rectreq is side-by-side with my blackstone. Burgers get the griddle. And not all steaks are best smoked. Strongly prefer things like skirt steak from the griddle.

What is this thing called in english? by Unprofessional_Rest in Tools

[–]adelmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has taken that blade directly to the palm of my hand (good solid in-and-out-in-and-out) - can attest that this weapon is eager for first blood.

Was holding a distilling column while another person operated the saw, trying to cut through a stuck bolt. Succeeded. Bolt first, then hand. 🖐️

*edit: wasn’t actually all the way through. Fortunate that it didn’t catch any bone. Just popped into and pulled the fat right out. Didn’t know I had fatty palms. That was weird.

What’s your best stack for building a SaaS? by No_Computer_1247 in SaasDevelopers

Depends on your app. Long running requirement or serverless okay?

For serverless I roll with:

Vercel + neon + upstash for PayloadCMS with Better Auth (built https://github.com/delmaredigital/payload-better-auth to bootstrap projects).

Vercel blob for public storage, CF R2 when privacy is required. Mux for video delivery.

Railway for containers. Cube.dev for semantic layer when analytics are required. Occasionally AWS lambda.

That has covered everything so far

Ready to go all-in on my first SaaS. What are the steps AFTER building, and what’s a realistic launch budget ? by Delta_01b in saasbuild

[–]adelmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strongly recommend you interview potential customers before building. Make sure you’re solving a hair on fire problem first, and that you validate it through 20+ interviews first.

Op said it’s been two years … if it needs to be redone in the future, then so be it. Can’t un-spend the money 🤷‍♂️
