My general rate is currently $50/hr but it varies depending on the type of work being done.
I work using retainers: I have my clients deposit funds in advance which are then subtracted from the balance as work progresses. Having a balance means that billing is not a concern when you need something done quickly or spontaneously when the need arises.
I set specific dates and time lines for the following things:
1. Content Submission dates: this allows us to stay focused and respect our time lines.
2. Project Revision dates: keeps us on track relative to changes for our completion date.
3. Project completion dates: which keeps our priorities clear and expenses under control.
