There is no set rate as in certain parts of the world there are freelancers that will work for an incredibly small amount as their cost of living is so low, here in the UK, you have to find an hourly rate that you are comfortable with and also reflects your experience, ability and delivery of a successful solution, but break it down into 'Design concept' No of 'static' pages required and hosting if required.
I'm in agreement with that but I can see that it's a difficult time for everyone and keeping the money coming in is important to survive - I guess if you are working 'freelance' for a studio by the hour they will only pay what they can afford but remember that their rate probably hasn't dropped! On the other hand if you are working on a project and you submit a cost for that then the hourly rate does not get seen - sometimes you win this way and sometimes you lose.
