TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A while back, I posted a request for information about the going rate for
page layout. I also asked whether folks charged by the hour, the page, or...
I did get one response that suggested charging by the page, but the
remainder recommended charging by the hour.
The hourly rates ranged from $15 (this rate was from 4 years ago) up to $60.
The average was $38.66.
Conclusions (for me, anyway): I should continue charging by the hour, but I
need to raise my rates!
Thanks one and all for your input.
