It was probably the server returning the wrong mime-type

Funny, it works okay now in all three! This morning it was code in opera but fine in IE. Did you figure it out?

All I see in both IE and Firefox is code.

Same thing with me and Netscape.

I definitely agree with Greg on the uneven indentations on the home page. Line those up and it will give a more organized look. As far as how much to charge..don't expect anyone to give you an actual dollar amount here as it is against policy here to state actual prices but you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Just take into consideration the amount of work you did and the amount of time you put into it. You may also want to think of the following:

Are you an established freelancer? (i.e. plenty of examples on work you have done in the past or are you just starting out?)

Is the company small without a large budget?(you don't want to "stab" them with a rate they weren't expecting)

In the future you will find it much easier to establish all the details before the work is started. This way there will be no confusion for you or your customers. I used to be in your shoes and actually I believe I posted pretty much your same question on these very forums. Come up with a well balanced plan and make sure the customer confirms it before you start your work and you'll be good to go.

Good luck,

Mark

Personally, I think the issues of where the original layout and images came from do not affect the price here. The work you did was cleaning up the and modifying the site, not creating the site from scratch.

One thing that really stood out to me was the uneven indentation of the paragraphs. Either stick with a consistant spacing or remove the indentation alltogether.

The font sizes of the headings seemed way large, made me wonder if I had my font settings up high.

Lastly, on the contact us page, I would suggest to them to redo the "business card" look I am assuming they were trying for. EIther actually scan a business card or find something to clean it up, it really says "I don't belong here"

Like Kyle said, since you know how much time you spent, just give yourself an hourly rate and multiply. Don't forget that you'll have to pay taxes and business overhead. There are salary surveys out there that will tell you what the range is for web design. Monster.com has one, although I think these generally apply more in a professional sphere and not so much to freelancing, although I'm not sure about that either.

It is actually against policy to discuss prices on this board since it could be considered price fixing in some areas.

No real prices are to be quoted.

It's also a premade Front Page template, so personally I think you shouldn't really charge the going market fees.
