I knew this girl who was working at Enrst/Young up in Canada, making the equivalent of parhaps $30k/year or so, with minor graphic design and heavy implementation work (HTML/Javascript/DHTML, etc...) When she left them, they offered her double to move to San Fran or NYC, and that was low by any standards, while her previous salary was high for the city she lived in. Freelance varies a huge amount, I try and never NEVER bill at less than $60/hour, and typically want more in the range of $120 or so. Most clients who go to a big agency will pay at least $100/hour for most tasks, so the shock shouldn't be too bad for them. With smaller clients, they don't know what the rates might be, so the trick is to not shock them too much. I'd still shoot for at least $30/hour at the low end, while making it clear to them that you're only going to be billing for "time worked", all the research and learning of new technologies is your overhead, that's why the billing is as it is. (Many small-time managers will simply multiply your proposed hourly rate by 40 hours, by 52 weeks, then compare with their own salary. Be prepared to explain that it doesn't work that way!)
