    Well, I'm usually fully booked for a week - 2 weeks when busy. So, what because rush? Kind of tricky to decide... I was thinking if I don't get at least 5 working days warning, then it's concidered rush. I'm not a walking copy place, you know? Does this seem fair at all?

    Another question, is hourly rate... I have one rate for EVERYTHING. A client is complaining that I should charge less for HTML prototyping since it's "grunt" work. I didn't budge, but was curious to see if other designers had dif rates depending on the work needed. I think ideally, I should probably charge my regular rate for everything (work done by my employees) and have a surcharge for work done by myself (creative director).
