6. Problem is, I don't know enough to define the job or make estimates

Of how long it might take or how much to charge. Aside from the fact that I am not really the right person to do this job, it would not be fair to the client to expect them to pay for my learning curve.

I've made sites for my own purposes - that is an entirely different thing than making or maintaining sites for someone else for pay.

I would bet she does not want to pay for a real web designer and is expecting to get me to do it for cheap. If I am willing to do the work it would only be if I could do a real professional level job and get paid what that is worth on the market. Not only am I not willing to work for cheap I am not willing to undercut a professional.

I think I should find someone who can do the job and refer the client to them.
