Building A Facebook Clone - How Much? by nairawall: 1:52am On May 18, 2013 |
A client just requested that I build a facebook clone for him using Php+MySql and JQuery. I was a bit hesitant to give a price for the job. What would be an ideal price to develop a project like facebook? |

$1000 |

Actually, you can charge whatever you like. But here are points to know: 1. Make sure you know all the features the client want. 2. You need to know that facebook is more than php, mysql and jquery. 3. It will take more than one developer to create a facebook-like site. 4. Facebook is more robust than you think, it's not a piece of cake. 5. It will take months to create it. |

segzy54: $1000thanks for your suggestion. GraphicsPlus: Actually, you can charge whatever you like. Actually the presentation is going to look like facebook but the implimentation will definitely be somewhat different. The core functionality is what I am developing for him. These are the features requested: i.) Wall (News feed) ii.) Friends connect iii.) Photo Sharing and Gallery iv.) User registration and authentication v.) Notification and alerts vi.) Inbox Messaging |

nairawall: Then simply choose your favourite php framework, check for the cost of extensions or plugins that can give you the desired functionality. For extensions that are not available compute the cost of development of such extensions, then add your own charges and bill him. Shikenah, problem solved! |
