    Hi Kat,

    I can’t remember. Did you say that you would help us determine how many hours or a recommendation of what to charge for these projects? I might be getting ahead, maybe that comes way later? I still charge hourly, though, I would like to move away from that as clients ask for an estimate of hours anyway… And I have to spend months justifying my time. It’s a headache. I am always curious if my pricing is right, or if my hours estimate is close to what other designers with similar experience would estimate. Thanks! Jen

    Hi Jen, the goal of the homework will be to have a pricing structure that you are confident with at the end of our course!
