Hi all,

 

It's a subject that I'm really interested in learning about. I have been working for my clients since I was 14 and I have charged around £12 per hour ($15). It has really come to light that this is a low price compared to other web developers.

 

My question to all of you is, how much do you charge per hour?

That does seam low, i would expect around that if you were employed in a web development role (junior-mid level). I don't freelance and when i do its always for friends/family so i just charge expenses.

Yeah, according to what I can find on the internet, it is way below the standard of a web developer's normal pricing scheme. That is why I am so interested in comparing my research to what people actually earn!

You probably won't get many people divulging their exact rates but as a guide good freelancers might charge in the region of £30-60/hour, really good ones more than that. Small agencies might be charging from round £80/hour upwards, and larger agencies £100+/per hour upwards.

 

It's also worth bearing in mind that some have different rates depending on the client an the particular job, for instance:

 

• Different rates for private clients (£), small businesses (££), and large businesses (£££)
• Sometimes rates for general maintenance can be lower per hour, especially if you do annual maintenance contracts

When I started out many years ago in 1998 my rates were comparitively low, but what I did was make small increases in rates for each job till it grew to a more reasonable, sustainable level.

Thank you for that. I think that I need to understand more about quoting my clients for a price that is fairer on my behalf too. Do you think that it would be worth having some kind of mentor to help with this?

The average here is £25-35 for freelancers, £100+ for agency contractors. It will vary depending on living costs where you are

I charge around 15 to 20 USD an hour for seo and web design services

We charge $24 per hour for big projects and ongoing work. For small projects, we offer a flat rate.

if your speed is really high for providing task then it is really low charge.

15 dollars!

30 USD per hour for maintenance and ongoing work. When starting a new project it is better to offer a package of a number of hours in which you will do that amount of work that usually rounds up at a lower amount but gets the project going. If you ask top rate from the beginning you might have the customers walk out on you.

What to charge depends on many factors, what the market rate is, and where your skillset falls within the market - how rare is it, how much value does it give. developers with in-demand and difficult to acquire skillsets can charge many times more than less skilled developers or those skilled in saturated markets.

 

A very highly skilled JavaScript developer for example can charge upto and over £100 an hour. I'd say in the US you'd be talking $150-200 per hour. This is due to a huge rise in JavaScript being used across the stack with frameworks like React, Redux automated testing being in use. A developer strong in these things is in huge demand by projects that require complex systems to be built.
