How much should I charge to develop a WordPress site?

Sounds like you are playing the role of the web designer and web developer in those situations. If you consider yourself very very good with UI UX design people are willing to pay big bucks for quality work there. As far as the development side it's more about the timeline for development and how many bells and whistles. I've worked with small to medium sized businesses and do not think $250/hr is unreasonable or unusual for top quality design and development on a normal timeline.

Happy to discuss more just wanted to get my thoughts out to bring a bit more perspective in.

I am self-taught and would like to apply for Graphics Art work. Where should I start and what are some tips for success?

Having an online portfolio is important but even more important is that you have reviews. You can put them directly on your portfolio site and they will act as 'social proof' enabling you to convert more jobs. Since you say that you've worked with computer graphic for years I assume you've done some work for clients. I bet in your e-mail you have these reviews just sitting there hiding from past clients or even associates or friends who have complimented your work. Publish them out there for prospect to see.

My portfolio is pretty weak relatively I think but more than anything when I link people to my reviews on codeable or my linkedin profile they instantly trust me and pull out their wallet :)

Outside of that another tip would be to specialize. There are lots of Graphic Artists out there you need to specialize and differentiate yourself. There are many really talents Graphic Artists out there who are successful without having a degree so don't let that hold you back.

Hope that helps. Cheers - Raleigh

Raleigh has established himself as a true thought leader as the Inbound Marketing and Content Marketing industries emerge. Technical knowledge, analysis, and execution skills are hard to find in one person - but in addition, Raleigh also has a keen sense of what drives ROI for our clients in real-world applications. Extremely rare. Our business has evolved in the past few years, but Raleigh has managed to stay true to his character through some tough decisions. He's persevered and turned every challenge into an opportunity for growth. Sings of a true leader.

Raleigh's energy is amazing and his passion contagious. The business model for PageLadder is but a small example of his ability to be creative and deliver what his customer wants ... result based fees. I recommend Raleigh and PageLadder to to anyone looking to climb to the first page of the search results.
