How much to charge for web development/ design?

Hi all,
I hope you're having a good day. I'm 15 and as a way to earn some money this this year I am thinking of starting a small web development business. I have knowledge in HTML (4 and 5), CSS (2 and 3), PHP 5, SQL, and some knowledge of Javascript.

I don't think that my knowledge (or lack of) would be a downside, as I have already designed sites for small businesses in my area. I was thinking of charging per page, and about $15-30 for an HTML and CSS, or $40-50 for a full PHP. If you were looking at hiring a web developer what would you think? Are these prices reasonable?

Thank you in advance!

-Thanks,
Patrick

It mostly depends on the country, [ Wealthy / Poor ] as for me, i recently got in to web designing, i taught myself online, and i am already making deals to design from $500 and beyond for a complete web service ( domain, design, hosting ]

you should choose to do all and i hope you will be smart enough to google all the service provides that offer quality and yet very cheap prices. That is where the trick lies.

For me, when i get request ALL I SPEND is 12 USD [ for Domain ] + Some hours of my time and the $488 is pocketed because i know good hosting company that once you pay annual fee you can host as many website as you want for unlimited bandwidth and storage.


Good Luck
