I quote per job, rather than tell them my rate is $100/hour. These are "billable" hours though, not actual hours. Time spent corresponding, etc, doesn't get factored in. So the effective rate is a bit lower. Most of my projects tend to be as a subcontractor to other developers/designers, so the requirements are very well-defined. If you work directly with clients and quote the whole job you need to make sure the scope is WELL defined and you fully understand the client's expectations or you could get burned with changes and out of scope aspects. All of my work comes from referrals or directly from conversations with acquiantences.
