Ditto Jonathan’s sentiments!
How much does your auto mechanic charge? Mine gets $85 per hour.
What about your plumber? My 25-year relationship plumber charges me $95/hour… but new customers pay $125/hour.
Forget attorneys; $300, 350, $400 per hour! How often do they add anything to your bottom line?
But NO, we’re not going to pay a top WP professional $150 per hour to save our butts!
Wake up folks… it’s past time to stop quoting hourly rates.
Small mindedness like the inquiry above is what “hourly rates” lead to.

It’s not about how much per hour… it’s about the VALUE ADDED by someone’s skill sets.
Bottom line: need a highly skilled professional… pay an appropriate fee!
You get what you pay for… or IMHO, that’s how it should be.
