Having said that, when I read "badass developer and designer" and then when I see your design, the first thing that comes to my mind is: "He/she must be really expensive". People here most likely are bootstrappers just like you.
By no means I'm saying your services should be cheaper. My point is that you should offer some kind of service or product that is more targeted to HN readers.
That being said, I'm willing to adjust the price depending on the situation.

I have more, if interested just shoot me an email.
Granted, there are very good reasons I charge so much, but you guys are both screwing yourselves.
That said, if you want to charge more, OP hajrice: please fix your spacing. If you're gonna rip off 37Signals' standard landing page, do us a favor and rip them off WELL, okay? Your button text looks like it's sagging there at the bottom of the bottom, and generally speaking, your text is very poorly handled.
If you read a couple books on typography, and spend less time on shiny background images and stock icons and more learning about what makes design effective, you could double your rate in a couple months, minimum.
