Nobody is going to pay $50-$100 an hour for html, css, php, mysql and a decent sense of site design for user experience. At least not anywhere around my neighborhood.

You would be surprised. I charge £35 to £40 GBP per hour for what I do here in the UK. That's like $50 upwards in the US. My clients expect to pay this because they know what plumbers and others trades charge for their time. Last time I had a major repair done in a garage I was charged £45 per hour for the mechanic's time. Are you worth as much as a mechanic?

Another way to look at it is that getting one job at $60 per hour is much better than six at £10. Maybe you don't have to work so hard. ;)
