Pricing work on simple design
Hey Amanda! Great question! This can be a tricky topic to figure out. There are a lot of things to consider outside of just designing the slides. And you're right, you definitely want to take into consideration the time it takes to make updates and how many rounds of edits.
I've seen a lot of course creators underestimate the amount of development time and then feel bad that they have to go back to the client and tell them it's going to take more time. It's not always a comfortable conversation. Sometimes giving a range between what you think you can do all the way up to the most time it could take might at least give them a general idea they're happy about. Back in my freelancing days, I sometimes only gave the higher hourly estimation just to be safe and when I was able to complete the project faster, the client was extremely happy. In my experience, I found it easier to estimate more time and get it done sooner than estimate not as much time and have to go back and ask for more budget.
In case you're interested, here is a resource on the topic.
I hope that helps!
