It strikes me that an hourly rate that increases over the life of a project might be a way for a freelancer to skew his billable hours toward new development and away from maintenance. It also reflects the fact that the freelancer’s knowledge of a particular client becomes more valuable over time. On the other hand, an increasing hourly rate is a tougher sell to potential clients.

Once you have less work on the roster, the price drops. When more gets booked in advance, the price rises.
