Great response Julian. I currently charge $55 / hour (8 years professional experience) and fixed-price all my work.I also increase my hourly rate by around $5 every 12 months to cover inflation etc.
No one has ever complained about the hourly rate. I've had very few projects rejected on the basis of cost. On a similar note, I priced development and hosting for a small organisation a while ago. I met with the client and he said something along the liners of: "The hosting cost seems a bit high. We had some low cost hosting through a company in the Philippines before, but when we rang them for support they didn't speak English and couldn't help us....." Hilarious to see in someone's face the exact moment when the "you get what you pay for" penny finally drops :) Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
