i used to do hourly, but not anymore.. i usually charge $1500-$2000 flat fee for a website now.. but i only get to finish 1 site per month. my salary as a jr. art director is little less than avg. but i get to work on huge projects.
and life ain't fair because the art director i work for makes $400,000 a year.. he is pitching a quarter million dollar wine company website project right now..
