Thanks for that.

The templates are great, thanks, I'm adding new pages now which seems to be going well.

There was just one little question of which I'm sure I know but just wanted to check. On the right side arrow buttons it says the following:

<ul class="rightList">
<li><a href="#">Download Brochure</a></li>
</ul>

I presume we can change the "#" to a link to a html page?

Other than that it all I thin I’ve got my head around it.

presume?

This afternoon... I know that We agreed on £30 per subsequent page addition but we seem to have added so many pages that we cannot afford the payment. Can you almalgamate the the pages and charge us less..

And what - I do more work on your site and get paid less...?

lucidcreations · 08-07-2005, 12:34

haha, nice try.

That old chestnut - instead of 10 pages at £30 per page, put them all in one and we'll pay you £30 instead of £300.

Funny how clients get logical when it comes to payment but completely illogical when it comes to putting a project together.

hawken · 09-07-2005, 22:08

payment by pages!!! oh lordy.

Recently...

Previous client, on quote for new project: I know that this is completely simple and will take you less than an hour, how can you try to charge me that much?
Me: It will take around 8-12 hours.
Previous client: No way! Why are you trying to ruin this relationship and rip me off?
Me: It is because of our previous working relationship that I am quoting you this low rate, I am in no way trying to rip you off - tell you what, I'll throw in the logo since it's loosely based on the previous project for free but the quote remains the same.
Previous client: Okay I'll go with your quote. I also want you to create 4 new images for the front page.
Me: This will cost you another $xxx.
Previous client: That's a joke right? I know it only takes 10 minutes to create each image in Photoshop.
Me: Have you got Photoshop?
Ex client: Yes.
Me: Excellent, good luck with that then.

A potential client, having been supplied with a complete list of relevant experience: This will only take you 30 minutes, how much will you charge.
Me: It's about 2 hours work - I'm not doing anything else today and it's pretty simple so I'll do it for $25/hour.
Potential client: Can you do the whole thing for $15?
Me: No, $25 is way below my usual rate.
Not so potential client: $20 an hour it is then. Can you provide references for similar projects?
Me: $25/hr is an absolute minimum and I don't want to bother my references for the sake of 2 hours work, I think it's best you find someone else.

hawken · 10-07-2005, 12:45

I still can't understand how people can charge per hour or page.

Methinks it's the business structure you guys have that give you annoyance from clients. If you want to give them baby food pricing, why not charge a standard fee?

For example, I'm working on a large site at the moment, however as it's done with a DB and other such trickery, I'm just charging a set fee with no breakdown of costs. Why waste your time with the client saying such bolloxs as "Oh well we don't need a contact form so that'll save us £25 from the site", all that shite should be bundled into one cost.

Honestly, reading some of this (and a plethora of similar threads) it looks like you guys bring the pain unto yourselves.
