I'm new to this site as well, what's the going rate for an experienced web
developer ?

Thanks

Hi

Im newly registered to Freelancers network, but I have to say that over the
past year I have been regularly looking at the postings on the site. Its
only now that Im leaving my full time job to go alone.

It strikes me that there are people/companies out there who think that the
freelancers on this site are desperate for work and will do things for
nothing (you only have to look at some of the postings which are just
laughable). If you are one of those people then more fool you, but it kind
of brings us all down in a way because these so called clients think they
can get away with it.

"You pay peanuts you get monkeys" springs to mind, but I don¹t think most of
us here are monkeys, so lets all stop working for peanuts!

(Im down from my soap box now)

Dan Marsden.
