Design-wise, I usually don't bother with projects under $400. It takes time to gather information about a project and communicate everything and make sure everything is clear on both parties, and I feel that my time is best spent working on larger-yield projects. Spending two hours talking about a project and then one hour of actually working on the project in exchange for an hour's work is simply not worthwhile.

When it comes to coding, I usually don't take on small projects. Historically, it's always been relatively large projects that take a month or two.
