There's several ways to look at this too. Currently I'm doing some work for
a small/home business owner. She needed some work done with some shopping
cart stuff, a little MySQL DB and some smart forms. Not a lot of work, but
then some of the stuff I've not worked with before. We ended up agreeing on
US$1000/flat. I was willing to go this route because being such a small
business, I knew that money WOULD be an issue.
Also, from my POV, you also benefit "intangibly" from every job you do...
Keep a private portfolio of work you've done and hour many hours you've put
into it. Seperate hours designing the code and hours making the code more
efficient, et cetera. Now if a client wants something similar to what
you've already done, you simply bill out for:
(Development Hours of Code + (Code Modification Hours / 10) + (Code
Customization Hours /2)) * Hourly Rate
This is a good way to build work for yourself too, as once you have a good
compiled library of code, you can take on several jobs at once based on
pre-written code, and bill out cross hours as you customize a few pieces of
code and get your months salary in a couple of hours ;-)
Of course, that IS wishful thinking but still!!!
