So, if it's not coding, not even HTML coding, then this isn't about websites. It's how much do you charge for a PSD file. In my experience that's a pretty useless metric. Converting a PSD to HTML can be trivial if you just use an export tool, or it can be incredibly time-intensive if you do it by hand and turn it into something dynamic.

I haven't had a straight-up "Design me a website" contract in years - it's always been applications, or a Wordpress theme. Is there actually still a market for simple static web sites anymore?



I'm working on a simple static site right now, but it's the first one I've done in a long time.

I'm also doing some work for another client that's just delivering PSD files... which, again, is not something I have done in probably a couple of years.

Unless you're working as part of a larger team and you each have specific tasks, most people want at least design+front-end development.
