I am in software development, often this software runs on web servers and sometimes in the web browser but I am not fussed whether it is a web site or not really as they all present their own challenges and rewards.
I think we have a variety of skills on here.

Originally posted by dang65The rates do seem to vary enormously, but I've been contracting for 7 years now and I've never gone below 300 quid a day in all that time. That's just for the stuff I mentioned - Classic ASP and the usual web gubbins to go with it.
Most the time I've been contracting in the North West, apart from a year with a French company.
First thing I do when I get a phone call is check it's definitely a contract role and then confirm that my rate is acceptable. If it's not then just say thanks and bye. If people are accepting under 200 quid a day for that kind of experience then they're being taken for a ride because the clients will pay more, and quite rightly too.

My perception in this region is that of many contractors chasing few contracts. Hence rates stay low. Then again I've not looked far beyond Jobserve - there may be many contracts being advertised or made available elsewhere that I'm not aware of.

Are you London based by any chance? It's more like 175-200 for PHP/ASP and 200-300 for .NET around here. That's the top tier as well - 5+ years of experience.

In my experience, for the traditional web developer package (XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, XML/XSL, SQL, ASP or similar, Photoshop) you can usually get around 300 quid a day these days. Heading into more trendy stuff like .NET, Ajax, Sharepoint etc the rates go up. Maybe 400 a day, maybe more in some location.
But contract rates vary hugely, and I've seen plenty of standard web developer contracts advertised for 125 a day. You have to decide what you're willing to work for and stick it out till you get that rate. If you're good enough and flexible enough then you should get what you want.

Depends if you also have some server side i.e. .NET or Java and even better SQL and XML/XSLT/Web services. Otherwise I rekon quite low.

html & javascripters - What are the ave Rates
hi everybody. new here. first post.
If this is out of line just dont post as i have not read the rules of what i can and cannot ask.
So...what does everybody think the rates are for web devlopers. Focusing in the areas of html and javascript. I know that ajax is starting to attract more as per the itjobwatch site, but who can trust that 100%?
Hope to hear from everybody
