The going base rate for CSS design is $16.40 per hour in Utah. By
comparison, HTML design is $12.48 per hour. Both of these figures came
from notes I made a few months ago with DWS. Graphic design is between
those at $13.48 per hour. All I can say is, I'm glad that's the bottom
end of the rates.

I've been told freelance rates don't get measured, typically, but that's
a guideline that should give you a rough-guess percentage to calculate from.
