Hello tna135,

In my opinion, I would start thinking about how you plan to run your business. Do you want to put the PC together with the parts they tell you to get, or choose the parts yourself basing it on what they want there PC to do? Also, are you going to order the parts for them or have them obtain all of the parts themselves? The second, probably the most important part, is finding liability forms and insurance for your business. Using people's money to make computers can be a dangerous job even with lots of experience. I would recommend doing research on pre-made liability forms and finding special insurance for PC manufacturers. I would also recommend creating a website, specifically with Google Sites. I find that it's very easy to create and customize to your liking. After that you can link it to a QR code or post the link around on different places to get your name out there. If you only want locals, you could try local poster boards. Pertaining to how much you should charge them, I would go off of how much you think it will end up costing you. Have them tell you what they want there computer to do or a list of parts, do some research and find the cost it will be to make the whole computer, then make your price slightly higher in order to make profit. I wish the best of luck in your endeavor!

I get what you mean! You could try Google Form, but I wouldn't recommend that. If you really wanted to go hardcore you could ask around for a web site designer to create a website that's like that for you. Anyways, no problem! I'm happy to help.
