Don't make the mistake I made when I was a beginning professional photographer. Don't think you're only worth what a burger flipper makes. Charge high, very high! Either get it or turn it down and keep your prices high. When they pay it, it will make up for the jobs you loose and the headaches from the nit pickers who want the world for a dime. If they want you, they obviously have a reason. Make sure they pay for what they want.

Sometimes I see the term "web content development" or developer. This seems closer to what I'll be doing. Would this still be closer to writing than web design?

I don't see how an independent contractor could charge much less than $30/hr and still make a living, given all the added costs and down time.
