First client, no pricing structure, and a nagging feeling any number you say out loud is either too cheap or too cheeky. This lines up hourly, fixed project, and value-based pricing side by side: how to calculate a starting figure under each, the risk built into it, and which one actually suits a beginner's first few clients.
