Contract programming rates?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Contract programming rates?

If you can back up your skills with evidence of good work being completed on time you can probably get $25 up to $55 an hour if you can prove your experience and worth witha portfolio of quality completed work.

The hardest part I have is guaging the client and what knd of budget and price they are looking for. They also tend to be quite vague and often don't know what they want themselves, or whats involved in developing their product so make sure you have these things in your mind and assume they havent a clue.

Having a professional web page with evidence of your work helps a lot too.

I had this come up just today, and it appears that the leadfoot web server is down :(
