Don't charge by the hour though, simply guesstimate the amount of hours it'll take you, if you think 15 hours work, give yourself a safety net of a few hours when you come to price it up.

listen to this man. he's wise beyond his years. I would tell you the same thing.
The only thing to watch out for is charging for more hours then the normal person (or less for that matter) Just because you are slow doesn't mean you get paid more, as well as if you are fast, doesn't mean you get paid less.
I can do a custom phpBB skin (new css, new header, new footer, all images replaced) in about 5 hours. But I would charge about 20-25 hours... because that's what it normally takes.
You have to think what amount of time would the business standard be. And hope that if you are slow, that you get faster with time.
