The hard part is not in deciding what to charge per hour, regardless where you are; it's in trying to estimate the number of hours that are going to be needed - as you pointed out originally. Clients want to have some idea what to budget for a project. $70.00 (or $10.00) per hour is meaningless in and of itself.
