First of all, you should look at my site (with portfolio) here : http://www.thesis-design.com/ I work full time as a freelance graphic and web designer. I operate from the United States, state of Michigan. I've been doing graphic and web design for DP members for quite a while now, and it's been going very well, as you can see from my iTraders. I've made the switch from flat rate payment to hourly. My standard rate is $20 per hour. However those hours go a long way, I'm very fast with my work. For instance, a PSD web design normally takes me 1.5-2 hours total, a large banner normally takes 1-1.5 hours total.
