hi all,
i’m going to go freelance (aswell as my day job!), and response has been immediate. People are asking me how much I charge, and I dont really know (hadnt thought that far yet!). Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ll be doing design work and basic server side scripting, bit of flash, the usual stuff.
I live in Devon in England, so I cant get away with charging london prices.
many thanks
- G

Obviously it depends a lot upon what you’re asked to do, but in general a good designer out here SHOULD be making 60 - 70 USD per hour. Now many of us are settling for less these days in the tough economy… and that is something to keep in mind.

charge whatever you feel your work is worth.
