Webmasters - What do you feel comfortable charging clients per hour?

4 replies
Hi,

May sound like a strange question... I don't know. When I was starting out I was charging about $25 an hour because I didn't have a clue what I SHOULD be charging. I started getting a bit more comfortable as time went on...

I did some internet searching to see what others were charging for what i did. Problem was I do like 10x more that what I was seeing listed... But I did see a number of people charging between $125 and $150 an hour.

I did not have the balls to ask for $125 an hour so I chose $75 an hour. I have been at $75 for a couple years now and I am ready to move up to $150 an hour and yes... I certainly do provide the value that would justify it...

Where are you at?

    It depends on the quality of your work. The better your stuff is, the more referrals you will get.

    If you don't someone else will. If you are doing 10X the work than you need to grow some "balls" and charge more for your hard work

    For a webmaster I would never pay more than $25/hr.

    For a developer/coder or designer I'd pay more but I prefer payments per jobs not by hour: too much cheating when it comes about the number of hours billed...

    If someone tells me they charge by the hour, my next questions is, "Well, how many hours will it take to get the job done"
