I won't lower my price just to have work. I want to be paid for the quality of work done and doing it correct. This is my opinion, Good luck on your choice. I think you will be happier with that type of client. I don't have 1 account that pays me less than $50.00/hour and most are closer to $60.00. I will drop a new customer if they are a PITA . I based my business years ago on quality not quantity and personal service. Good customers recognize this and are willing to pay for good service.
