Okay, let’s tackle this. So James Heston has 1 year of experience as a web developer, which is a relatively short tenure. Location is Charleston, SC, which is a mid-sized city with a lower cost of living. According to national averages, junior web developers in the US can charge around $50–$100 per hour. Considering James' experience, I'll estimate his rate at the lower end of this range, around $75 per hour.
