PHP eCommerce product

How would a designer/ developer price their product? Just as an example what would a customer pay for what Mr. Hoyt developed in his sessions? What about what Mr Seifer did for his social media sessions?

I think with some marketing some start-ups should be popping up from Treehouse students.

Just like with anything in business, you would price it based on the market.

If you are developing an app specifically for a company then you would either change a set price or hourly rate. If you develop some software as an ecommerce project to sell to multiple users, you would find similar software that compares to it and offer a competitive rate.
