| Freelancers have to set his own fees as how he is going to charge clients. Will you only work on an hourly rate, freelancers has to charge one price for the whole project no matter how long it takes you or will you offer both?
This gives your client the flexibility of choosing which type of rate they prefer. Most of the freelancers have to choose a per project fee because they know exactly how much they're going to get charged up front.
If a freelancer decides to use flat project rates, then he needs to protect himself by using a range for that particular section.
It is a double–edged sword and a freelancer is his own boss, so set a rates in such a way that both you and your clients can live with. You can increase your rates as you go along (preferably once a year at most). But making any dramatic changes, especially many close together, is just going to scare off your clients. |
