Let's just say for plain html pages. Is it usual to charge a fixed rate per page or hourly? |
Depending on the size and complexity of the job, charge a set rate for the 'web pages' and an hourly rate for maintaining the site. Remember to include costs when coming to a price, electricity,phone calls,printer ink,fax,etc All the little things build up in cost so ensure to cover your direct costs first and foremost.

How much would be reasonable for a page? What are some other ways of pricing? |
Charge by the page/site, any other way may get you in to difficulty contractually. Only you know how much work is required so I am afraid it is up to you to price the job. About the only way to gauge this is by visiting design sites to see what they are charging.
If I was being paid by the hour to admin someones site I would be looking at about £25+ per hour for the basics, depending on what you have to do, this figure could be way way higher.

Also, if you were to work from home and meet with your client periotically, is it reasonable/usual to charge for the meeting since it's easily 4 hours spent without being paid (the time plus the drive...)? |
Your kidding right?
Your expecting a potential customer of yours to pay for your travel & time to the interview so you can make a good living from them for as little work as you can get away with.....
Think about it...
