Okay, let’s calculate. So Nic has a solid foundation in web design, graphic design, and Adobe Creative Suite. He’s also familiar with Wordpress, which is a popular platform. Considering his skills and the fact that he’s based in Boise, Idaho, a mid-sized city, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be on the lower side of the scale. Typically, web designers and graphic artists in the US can charge between $50-$150 per hour, depending on experience and location. Since Nic doesn’t have extensive experience or a high-demand skillset, I’ll round down to $75 per hour, which is a reasonable estimate for a junior or entry-level designer in this region.
