I can tell you that there hasn’t been a challenge greater than trying to figure out what to charge people. I really don’t like to charge by the hour for web design and development (unless it is on strict orders from the client to do so). Usually with a ‘lump-sum’ project I have the ability to name my price and put all of the pressure on me to meet the deadline.

When I’m approached by a new client, the last thing I want to do is to put all of the pressure on them to pay a huge sum for all of the hourly work that I’ve done. You can read a more in-depth article at Smashing Magazine about how we as designers can bit on projects without under-cutting ourselves or over-charging our clients.
