With so many non-technical entrepreneurs looking to start web businesses, I think there's A LOT of demand. Like everything else, you might need to spend some time trying to find your market, but I think you'll find it quite quickly. As an aside, email me offline: hello [at] launchbit [dot] com. (My website LaunchBit helps new web entrepreneurs do their customer development and vet their markets first before writing any code. As a result, many of my users are non-technical and may be interested in speaking with you after they are done vetting their markets.) There are a lot of freelancers in the Bay Area that do this already. But, that said, my best guess is that the demand currently is greater than the supply. There are also some shops that take equity in exchange for their help. (e.g. Originate Labs) The range of these freelancers/shops is tremendous. I've heard people quote between $30/hr - $200/hr for both frontend and backend work. Like bradleyjoyce mentioned, I think it's more of a factor of how much work you're looking to find and how quickly. You can start out lower and raise your prices with future customers.
