In this article, I'll try to guide you and give you some real figures on pricing in the web and development field. In the first part, we'll cover the basics, and in the second, we'll take a look at some very concrete cases....

Imagine you want to create a simple web application that lets users create "to-dos" and save them - yes, it's a classic... ?
