As an amatuer like yourself, I don't think you could put a price on helping someone else develop a personal site. When I started out I received a lot of help from those more knowledeable than I, at no cost.
I think the joy should be in starting a site and assisting the other party to improve on it.
Sorry if this is not the reply you were looking for.

I've created multiple personal sites for myself over the past few years, and just recently, a friend of mine has asked me to create one for her. How much should I charge for my time to create it as well as my time to maintain it since she's not web or design savvy? Has anyone been in this situation before where they're just starting out and have no idea what to charge people? If anyone could get back to me on this, I'd really appreciate it!
