I charge $47 per hour - even do business apps in any of the rather-awesome frameworks at that price.

Because my rates are so low, I don't have to spend time making mockups, bid proposals, or have to deal with the know-it-all nephew. I also get to work on fun "what-if" projects and my customers happily pay their bills.

The dirty secret is that I charge for hosting - 60% of my income comes from hosting for solutions made in the past, and I don't even have to lift a finger.... well unless someone finds out about an SSL vulnerability. :)



Aren't you worried about downtime? Clients calling @ 2am doesn't sound like a fun time to me.
