That is incorrect. Perhaps a few programmers at Wall Street firms are getting $90 an hour, but the going rate for normal folks here in NYC is about $50/hr.

Although for sure plenty of folks come onto the NYC list and try to undercut our rates...

Also "website redesign" is not usually programming but involves other skills (like CSS, graphics design, etc). I would not be surprised to see rates differ between that and actual programming tasks.

Hi Bruce,

I think it largely depends where you are. For example, if you're in
NYC, you can easily command a *much* higher rate than I can here in
Oklahoma. In NYC, the going rate is $90+ an hour I hear while I work
comfortably here for $25.50 to $30 an hour. So depending on where you
are, you might not be undercharging at all.

Check your competition and see what they charge. Set your prices
according to your local market.

Hi all, I was wondering how much the going rate for a website redesign is
going for now days. I am always turned down in my town for charging too
much, but I really can't see doing a site for less.

I think I am under charging. Sorry to bring this up but it is really eating
away at me, as I know I would have loved to been in on this bidding, if in
deed it did go up for bid.
