Hourly base is useless for most of us, but answers to questions ( with an overall estimate of costs and time) for:
1) Building a whole e commerce web site.
2) making it SEO ready
Etc... etc..
Is the way to go.

I'm certainly fine with quoting on a per project basis, and probably 80% of the work I do is on a per project basis. Only after I've established myself with a client and they want ongoing work do we typically switch things to hourly so things stay streamlined. I think it's important to show what your hourly rate is to give people an indication of what you charge.
Along with giving people a write up of what I think is involved on a project I also give time estimates and deadlines.
