I agree with the above poster. If it’s your first real client, don’t worry too much about getting enough money for your work. Realistically speaking, I’d charge around $1000-1200 for a custom theme with Ecommerce (although that’s a gestimate depending on the design she wants and how much extra stuff thrown in). You should treat your first real client extra special because she’ll be the start of your clientele web. She gets you more clients for treating her so nice, and they in tern get you more. Then after a few, when you have a good flow of clients, you can raise your prices to what you would normally/should normally charge.

And in the end, it’s always good to get more experience dealing with an actual client plus it builds your portfolio which lets you command more money later
