Your Questions. Answered.

Contact me if you have any other questions.

Why should I calculate my rate instead of just copying what others charge?

Copying someone else's rate means you're pricing for their life, not yours. Your taxes, expenses, time off, and income goals are unique. A rate that works for another designer might leave you burned out and broke — or overpriced and losing clients.

How many billable hours can I realistically work per day?

Should I charge the same rate for design and development work?

What's a healthy profit margin for a freelance web or design business?

How do holidays and time off affect my rate?

My rate feels too high. Will clients actually pay it?

How often should I raise my rates?

What's the difference between my hourly rate and my project rate?
