Should I charge different rates for consulting and web development (same client)

[Lance]

I'm not LadyMuck.

No agency is great. Please let us know what the client says.

Ariosa, the question to ask yourself here is whether the client thinks they are engaging with your company to provide specific services, or whether they are contracting you as an individual to provide those services. I suspect most contractors are in the latter situation (although many won't admit it).

If your client does truly accept they are engaging with a service provider, then you can realistically charge different amounts for different services, and they should have no argument over that. But, if their mindset it that they are paying for you, the individual, i can see them having difficulty in accepting different rates.

Please do let us know what they say.
