I'm a freelance graphic designer transitioning from charging hourly to project-based rates, but I'm struggling to accurately estimate the total time and value for more complex branding projects. I often end up undercharging because I fail to account for revisions and client management time. For experienced freelancers who use value-based pricing, what specific questions or formulas do you use during client discovery to scope a project and set a price that reflects your expertise while remaining competitive and fair to the client's budget?
