If you can get new work (another client), charge more for it. If you have a cheap client, get rid of them as soon as possible, Cheap clients are bad clients. If you charge more, you will be more respected. You will have more and better clients. And you'll make more money. :-) Price acts as a signal. Think about how you would buy something that you didn't know about, say wine; in the absence of other info, you would equate the higher price with a better product. If you charge less initially ("until you get your funding, etc") when you charge full price the customer will not feel grateful at the deal you gave them. Instead, they will feel ripped off by your full price. Charge full price or work for free.
