It's my experience that most IT professionals grossly undercharge. Get a plumber around. Chances are he'll charge you more for fixing your toilet than you will to build him a website. Both are equally easy jobs using off-the-shelf components. As an experiment, I had someone ask me recently for an hourly quote to do some work. I didn't really feel like it, so I quoted double the normal rate. They didn't even blink. If you're not a corporate consultant getting charged out at $400+ per hour, you're probably undercharging. To be clear, I'm talking about consultant type work here, not 'code me a CRUD app on an hourly rate'.
