It’s up to you whether you’re using an Enterprise Mobile Site tool to crank out sites, or you’re coding them by hand.

If you are using a tool like ours that has no activation fee, and just a low monthly fee of $8 per HTML5 mobile site, then you will want to price a low activation fee of $200-$400 up front and a monthly fee for the HOSTING and CMS that is more than the $8 you will pay each month.

So a good example is $299 for design and coding, followed by $19.95 per month for CMS and hosting. Using this model, your first 12-month cost for this package is $96 and your gross sales for this same time period is $538.40.

That means you have earned a profit margin of over 560%! Talk about maximum profits!

If you are coding them by hand using a template that you have previously created, it should take no longer than 6-8 hours to create the HTML5 Mobile Site. It also takes NO SKILL! If you are using a template, a lower-level, $9/hr employee or intern can do the heavy lifting with just a little training, Dreamweaver, and an FTP Client.

In this case, you can choose to sell the source code of the site as a one-time venture, starting at $500 (Duda Mobile backed by Google charges $499, so they set the market).

However, if you can upsell to the client with more bells and whistles that help achieve the goal of the mobile strategy that you help them create, you can charge MUCH MORE. Let’s say you get $800 for the project, your intern does the work at $9/hr and the project takes 6 hours. Your total cost is $54, and your profit margin is over 1400%!

Think you can live with that?
