Us Mid Atlantic rates:
Those customers that look at price, not the performance record pay $20- $25 per hour for novices and end up paying much more for the project 'cause they do not get experience at that price. The going rate for experience is $45 - $55 per hour and for true excellence $75 - $125 per hour.

The rates vary GREATLY depending on location.

Have fun, charge what you are worth, not as a person, not as a programmer, not as a designer, but a a performer of the particular task you are charging for. You may be a novice doing some things, experienced doing others and truly excellent in a few.
