Basically, an old lady asked me to make her an ecommerce for her luggage store.

Basically I'll have to do everything from setting up VPS, domain, theme, adding products, etc... It's like +500 products.

The problem is, I don't know how much to charge for this kind of work.

Can someone with experience give me a hand?
Thank you, regards!

You mean a website?

Such a vague question, can be anywhere from $100 to 10s of £1000s.

Do you work? What's your hourly rate? How long will this project take you? I would simply do hourly rate x time taken as an estimate. Maybe reduce it a bit if you know her/ want it for your portfolio.

How long will this take you approximately?

Do you have to write all the product description and category content?

Well in WooCommerce the upload of 500 products is such a nightmare without a paid plugin, I would charge from 1k-3k

Just my two cents.

Calculate the estimated time that it takes you to complete the website and multiply with an hourly rate you want to charge.
