    Keep in mind that there are pay standards, or at least there should be. One guy charges less and it diminishes the pay for everyone else. A horrible domino effect that has been started a while ago in web design with Frontpage and Web Design for Dummies.
    Don't undercut yourself, you get paid for your skills and experience. Just because you could do it in your sleep doesn't mean it should be cheap. Also keep in mind that this is how you make MORE money, by getting experience, becoming more effecient, and having time to do more. Don't charge less.
    As you get quicker, you should be charging more, this gives you more cash for your time and the client doesn't end up paying more than he would with Mr. Joe on the corner with no experience. Get as much as you can, and push for a new design. It will help yourself and the profession in the long run.
