Cost Idea
Oct 05, 2017
Hi,
I have a project that requires edits of the existing online module. The client need to:
- Replace the company logo on the frame and on a 5-6 slides.
- 20 slides need a simple background picture replacement.
- 25 slides have images of people in coveralls and hardhats (usually 1-2 people images per slide). Client need to remove the company logo shown on the hardhats and coveralls and replace with the new logo.
- No audio or any other changes are required.
Can anyone give me an idea how much can I quote. I am very new to the consulting side and am very confused. Instead of per hour, I wanted to give a quote for the course to keep things simple.
Will greatly appreciate any lead!

Here are some questions first: are you comfortable with doing some minor graphic edits in Photoshop or any similar tool or do you need to get some assistance? In bullet point 3 you say that there are 25 animated pictures of people in clothing and hard hats. Are the people truly animated - moving around such that the logos on the clothing and hat are also moving or are the pictures still shots and straight on (camera center photos)? If the graphics are moving along with the logos, you will need to redo all of those images and movements so the clothing and logos look correct. Movement will change the visual perspective of the logos.Do you have all of the images in your possession or do you need to obtain and/or recreate them? Bullet 1+2 will require about 1 hour of effort. Bullet 3 is your more serious problem. Can you post one example from bullet 3 people or export a few screens from your .story file so that I can see what is occurring on the screen? Then I can give you a better estimate for you to consider.
Thanks for the response David. My bad, the images are not animated, they are only images of people with hard hats and coveralls. I have attached one image and have also edited the original post.
Client will provide me with the pictures. I can do minor edits to these images on my own without needing any assistance.

the attached took 3-5 minutes - you would need to "warp" the logo or text to make it more real looking. So, if you have the ability to do the photoshop manipulation, the entire project is about 4-8 hours. You will need to add your time with the client for reviews and edits.
Awesome!!
That helps a lot. Any idea on reasonable hourly rate for projects like these.
If it were a US firm, the entire project including review/revision time might be $500-$1K assuming everything can be done in one day. If the client is more demanding then you would need to increase that amount (best guess). If you need to do the text/logo warping for more realism, then it would take 2 days as a precaution.
Thank you soooo much!!!
You have been a great help. Have a wonderful day :)

Hi David,
I am recently transitioning from full time job to the freelance development work. I came across this cost sheet on internet and wanted your review on that. Does it sound reasonable for a starter like me. I have 8 years of experience in developing both ILT and E-learning courses and I make sure the content I develop is of high quality. Your comments and guidance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Saadia
