you have to pay around £400 to be able to post on the web designer part which I am not doing as I don't even plan on getting paid that much for this client.
I don't know where to start with designing a website on this system, they say it has a addon for dreamweaver which isn't helpnig really its all blanked out I'm just going to mess around with it for a while its supposed to be easy.

he did say when i met him that he has £200 to spend.
I wasn't expecting to charge more than £200 either, but he is asking for a lot though so I'm just going to design a layout, right now I'm emailing him and I'm going to say that if what i think he wants and what I'm not doing that is contained in this email then it will be around £200, and I'm not sure but i think he wants me to do 2 designs for 2 different sites :s.

Mate, thats not a lot unless your doing this mainly for experience.
Things either take a lot longer than expected, or happen a lot sooner, generally 2-3 times longer (or occasionally 2-3 times faster)
I would charge £200 a site at least if I were you.
It can be a great learning experience, but be careful about undercharging.
Always give yourself a good margin.

I don't really like the system, i did try the trial if you want to use it i think you should be a larger company, to understand it you would need training.
This client that i have using it hasn't emailed me so I'm going to let him go, think hes having financial issues.
