If you feel that the compensation you want to receive is justified for
the time/effort invested, and you don't have any concerns about creating
a "standard" that will negatively impact future rates for similar, or
larger, projects, then I say go for it.
Client gets a good deal (assuming they realize it), you get income
you're happy with...win win.

I was wondering if anyone does this or would like to see what others
feel about this:
I have a large customer and I get requests to work on a web connect
application and a VFP application. I charge them hourly a fixed rate
that is a pretty good rate because it is usually a fix or a small
change where I charge enough to cover changes, testing and updating
the application. If I sit in on a conference call or do something
other than programming I charge less. Usually about half.
Now I am going to do a large project which involves HTML & VFP and
wanted to charge a lower rate so that I am not charging an
unreasonable amount for the project. Make sense?
Some of you will say, "Why would you want to do that?" I have been
successfully self-employed for over 22 years - that is why.
I would just like to hear others' ideas on this.
