My experience has been exactly the opposite.. Your clients will value your time based on what they pay you.

I'm sure it has been. I'm just pointing out a general business trend and offering another perspective.

As products and services become commoditized (like web development has) and customers are realizing that they can substitute one product/service for the another and be perfectly satisfied, they are putting a premium on advice and help.

Clients don't really value your time. They may respect it, and not expect you to work for free. But what they truly value is the results that you produce for them.
