HN – Ask HN: Do you hike prices often as a freelancer?

I try to keep my prices the same every year for my clients, as they expect to pay a certain amount each year for their website. I don't want to shock them with a fee hike, as it comes across as snakey and mean.

But with inflation, rising costs of fuel, and everything getting a little bit pricier these days, I simply have to hike my prices, because of the economy.

How do you feel about hiking prices? Is it worth (potentially) getting your reputation damaged?
