Pretty much anything. I know people making those rates configuring content management systems. How much easier work can you get than that? If you charge per project then you can free yourself from the hourly game. In some cases a healthy project fee can look more appealing than an hourly rate even if you know that you could do the project for half the cost of the per project fee if you were to charge hourly. Hourly makes people nervous. Sometimes hour rates are meaningless. If the developer is horribly slow, dishonest or incompetent then even "cheap" becomes expensive. What good does saving money on a developer do if your business is losing wads of money because the developer is taking far longer than expected to complete your project? I think it all comes down to giving the client the warm and fuzzies, delivering in a reasonable timeframe and doing so with decent quality. It's also about being able to sell yourself. These aren't always the qualities of a technician. You also have to be a business person.
