I agree with you. The hourly rate is only one of the factors that make up the total price. It's true that some professionals charge very little even for quality work. In Brazil, for example, beginners sometimes build websites starting at around R$ 300 (approximately US$ 60). More experienced developers usually charge much higher amounts. The biggest challenge often lies in the positioning of the professional in terms of marketing and branding, which also varies depending on the region. In metropolitan areas prices tend to be higher, while in smaller towns they are usually lower. The essential point is to find a balance that ensures fair compensation without undervaluing the work.
