    The point of all that being that I think you're selling yourself short by doing a generic rate card, as you can't necessarily easily pigeon-hole projects all the time, and you end up absorbing some loss, sometimes, by virtue of not getting the most sales value out of any given project.

    Also, I'm a firm believer in value pricing (along with or, if appropripriate, replacing hourly fees), and I think freelancers need to get on board with that, as well as educate their clients as to why that's done.
