So, I am a new "Green" professional designer trying to start up a web design/hosting business with my partner (CIS guru) I have done some freelance web projects in the past, but now that things are "for real" I need to know how to charge money. Any words of advice and/or links would be very helpful

My experience is that when you're all said and done with a web project, you end up making $3.45 an hour.

anybody?

Thanks, that is going to be useful. Now, for some reason people dont mention $ much around here. I want to get a good Idea of HOW MUCH people charge....

I usually charge around £20/hr for front end graphic/html/css stuff but I do it on the side as and when I have the time as I do it full time during the day for a salary so I guess the rate is just what I'd consider reasonable for my needs.
Check these out though as it's all about where you are, what you offer, who your clients are etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc http://a9.com/freelance%20web%20…

great stuff Ramble thanks...keep it comiing
- rasko40
well that depends where you are in the world, where you are locally, how experienced you are, what you do, your clients etc etc etc etc etc
far too wide ball a question
- madirish0
exactly anywhere from $20- $150/ hour, and $5k to $XXXk depending on the project and clinet.
want more specifics? give more specifics. oh, and what rasko said...

My partner is very experienced on back end and will be doing most of the programing/hosting/admin. I am full time designer (non-web) but with only a year or so under my belt via web/flash "stuff" and I will be doing all front end design. Located in Columbia SC and partner in Charlotte NC...will be working for clients from Charlotte to Atlanta. Help narrow things down, anyone actually in my "area"....its kind of Southern

Example 1: Flash site for fairly basic promotion of John Doe restaraunt/bar.
Example2: Full intranet work flow system for a medium sized company.

you spelled "coming soon" wrong on your website
- tkmeister0
if i was the client and knew you had only one year of professional design experience, i wouldn't pay more than $30/hr for design.
for backend, it'll be different. it's all about how you sell and position yourself.
starting on your own with such a limited experience will be tough.
anyways, good luck.

crapp, forgot i linked that site....its pretty RAW and yes, i have many pokes of fun in my direction from "coming soon" thanks for the heads up though. lol
- digilee0
then why didn't you fix the coming soon problem the first time you were told?
tsk, tsk, tsk!
