Its fairly normal, some people can charge hundreds some people can charge thousands.
Work out how long you expect the work to take in hours,
allow extra time for the client changing the requirements,
unexpected bugs, errors and other normal time killers.
Work out what a decent minimum hourly rate you would expect,
and remember that since its not a regular job you should charge 50%-100% more
in order to make up for gaps in work.
Then add hosting and domain  costs and then you have your end product price.
£2000 is reasonable but some small clients will be to tight to pay.
However unless you need the work its better to overestimate than underestimate.
It sucks not getting a role but it also sucks busting your balls for a lot less than you expected.
