I can only comment on the Flash portion of your question:

It depends on the contract, but usually rates vary from state to state, country to country, and project to project.

I recently had a client who wanted a WHOLE site done in Flash, with it's content to be easily updateable via text files.

I only charged $600 US, because of the following isues:

1. The whole site had only 4 sections. All static, no animation other than transitions.
2. They said they could pay me within a week.3. It wasn't a very complex design.

HOWEVER, for more complex, or larger client designs, I usually use this as my primer:

Flash Concept Design: $35-$60 per hour.
This means the overall look, feel, and navigation taking into account low-levelusability.

Flash Siteflow/Wireframe: $20-30 per hour.
Pretty srtaightforward.

Complex animation or Flashscript programming: $35-60 per hour.

Everything else, inclusing Flash GUI Usability, Marketing, Maintenance etc. would fall under normal Website design and development rate schedules easily found on creative websites all over the web:)

Hope this helped a little:)

Hi
this is a preety tough question cause it's something that can only be answered with the knowledge of the depth of the project at hand. But on a flat out basis if it's flash it comes to 10-15 dollars (USD) per hour. Mind you this is a flat out rate. I guess if given in on a whole project, the cost would work to be lower. Javascript would be around 7-12 $/hour.

I have a very simple rate plan. For web site design and programming, I charge $25 per hour. Sometimes if given the entire project, I will just set a flat price for the entire project. This has helped me get more projects to work on that way. I am in the southern part of the U.S.A.
