    I have no problem telling people my rates.
    People pay what they are prepared to pay at the end of the day and it will show if you come recommended from someone that they will get what they pay for etc.
    The thing is I don't think your rates should be set in stone!
    I have a sliding scale of rates that varies depending on if it's a start up business, an established one, client budget etc etc.
    I generally charge by the hour as otherwise it's easy for the client to think they are getting things "for free" :)

    • So the work is worth less when designed for a start-up than someone who's established?gramme
    • i think it's more an issue of wanting the gigscarabin
    • Yes, start ups will have a very limited budget and so I take that into account which they appreciate. However a start up that has say 3 people in it would be charged more because there will be more budget :)gingerbreadlady
