[Tfug] ot: going rate for webdevelopers

[keith smith]

It really depends what you are looking for.

If you are looking for stability (regularly available, meet deadlines ETC) , you will want to hire someone that is established and does this type of thing as a freelancer full-time.  For a pro I would expect to pay $60 - $75 for short term projects.

If you just have 10 hours of work and it really is simple stuff and once it is done you will not care if the person is available you might try looking for a student and I would think you can get a reasonably qualified student for $25 - $35/hr contract.

Yes, it is way low. Ten years ago I charged between $25 to $35 per hour 
for plain HTML and web design. And over past few years for database work, 
web server administration, and PHP (or other web coding) development work 
from $45/hour to $75/hour to $100/hour (depending on the size of job or 
prepay or not).
