We have what I consider to be a fairly good way of handling the situation of determining a price that will make both parties happy.
Of course, it goes without saying that you shouldn't fear intuition when it comes to how you bill the client. For example, one client I'm currently working with has good potential for leading to a fair amount more business, so I'm giving him a really good rate to produce a fairly simple but still high-quality shopping cartish site, and I didn't bill him for the analysis/design. Our company also believes in free software, and helping the client by giving them the source code so they can work with it themselves or hire whomever they choose after that to maintain it. Try doing the same, and you'll be amazed at the competitive advantage that truly helping the client can bring. :)
