33 hours is definitely a lot. Hard to say though unless you look at clear requirements. There might be hidden things that Client requested that are not coming out.<br><br clear="all"><i style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><b>Roshan Shah</b></i><br>

You would build a very good site with that much money!<br>
If the template is complex, company is reputed, and to be professional,
the price should be around $800.<br>

<pre>That may be the case, but 'a node template' is an entirely different
story, and a node template that takes more than ~5 hours is pretty
extensive and should probably be split into it's own theme. There's no
way a node template should take that long.

<pre>Sometimes "a template" is more than just doing some HTML. The task
itself might include building the needed views, theme them, get some
blocks in place, and theme them too, etc.
I don't know what's the template in question, and I also know that 33
hours are a lot of time, but I also know that it's not always as easy as
it seems in first look.

<pre>I work with someone on a Drupal 6 site and he hired a fancy NYC
company (that charges well over $100 / hour) to do some more work on
the site. The client asked me to write up a certain job and include
some time estimates. Part of it is a custom node template, based on a
PSD. The site template remains the same--this node template is just to
customize the content section. OK, it may involve a *bit* of PHP for
special fields, but it's still just a node template.
I estimated 3 hours and the NYers 33 hours. They estimate over $3300
to make one node template!
I don't understand how they are able to have enough business and a
good enough reputation to be charging high prices if they don't know
what they're doing. Because they don't--33 hours for a node template
is silly I think. The other programmer we use could do it in 3 hours I
think (and he's less than $100). He's just busy...

PS: Thank you for listening to my rant. I feel better now. :)
