A few days ago there was something quite startling, I got a PageRank 8 for one of my site. This happened after my hosting do maintenance on their servers, and my website can not be accessed during one to two days.

But has a PageRank 8 is awesome, even it's fake :).

I think my decision to become a freelance Drupal developer and themer about one month ago is very timely decision. There are two kinds of rates that I charge to my clients, hourly rate and fixed rate.

For hourly rate, I charged when a client requires only small things like adding or fixing the CSS, create a simple form and others small things. My current hourly rates is $45, can be more in the future :). For fixed rate, I switch to this kind of rate type when my clients need a big projects, yes like creating a custom theme, creating a site etc.
