I agree, it really depends on your (proffessional) experience, and
expertise and even the client. I think I started at 25 euro and for my
last clients I charged somewhere between 75 and 100 euro. I usually
charge more for bigger corporations, because they tend to whine a lot
more, and you'll always end up spending twice as much time as expected.
One thing I learned. It's better to charge 100 dollars per hour and say
you need 50 hours, instead of charging 50 hours and say it will take 100.
