    I’m a freelance web & graphic designer who has 4 years of a degree under my belt - I’ve recently designed a website for a client. This website needs to be updated almost daily- I have to design an image based on text information, and add it to a certain section of the site. Then I have to do an invoice per image as well as print out copies of the image and invoice. each image plus invoice would take me around an hour to do but I don’t know how much to charge per image. My client gave me a price (€5) per image and I really feel that’s way too low. Does anyone have any idea of how much would be the average or the standard to charge per image? Thanks!

    If it's going to take an hour then 5 euro is very low.
    Would you be able to do a bunch of them in one go to reduce the time spent.
    Would a tool like Canva help speed things up?

    Maybe the client would be willing to compromise on the invoicing stuff - will they accept a PDF instead of printout?

    It will matter on your requirement and complexity of job.

    I'd give them one price for doing it this way, and another price where you give them a single electronic invoice at the end of the week with everything on it. The former will be prohibitively expensive, to help them cop the fsck on.
