Only having an hourly rate option on profile is to limiting

As a photographer I actually have a higher rate of pay for the first hour, than I do for subsequent hours. This is a fairly common approach in my trade, to mitigate the fact that a 1 hour shoot takes longer than one hour due to the fact the client generally doesn't understand the aspects of a photoshoot; editing time and other such expenses. They often add up to well beyond the first hour.

The way things stand now, when I try to explain things to a client (who has based everything on there assumption they can have a photoshoot in 1 hour, and that's including everything) - I think they think I am being deceptive.

I think there should be a way for one to implement other options along with the basic hourly rate. For example, first hour rate/hourly rate/special package rate.

Many thanks for your suggestion. I will pass it on to our product team.

At the moment you can select more than one option on the rate of pay by selecting more tabs below the first empty line under proposal. Would that solve your issue for now? The first line could be first hour, second for the ongoing hours and then any special packages in a third line?

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Yes thanks, I realise this. I was more concerned about people viewing my profile and seeing my hourly rate from there. This is where my issues lie - if they contact me after having seen this first. But thank you!
