Know more, less money. <-- not necessarily.

"Knowing more" simply means "more opportunity".

I have had many clients who come to me wanting a simple billboard -- 
I can do that. I typically charge $1k for a three page web site and 
can create a decent looking one in a day. I'll do that as often as 
anyone wants.

I know people who charge considerably more and remarkably less. So, 
there's no "rule of thumb" -- so surmise the client, determine your 
own worth, and charge accordingly.

Cheers,

tedd
