I’m really sick of getting screwed over. This makes twice in the past few weeks where I get a GOOD design job request that I was happy about. I end up spending hours upon hours talking to clients about their website design, and finally, when payment discussion comes up, I loose a client. First example - A client requests that I be paid about $100 for the job, when I should be paid at least $400. Example Two - The client and I agree on a fair price. I tell the client that (s)he must choose to do one of the following:
- I send you a paper contract/agreement, you sign it and send it back to me
- You make a payment before the website is started, and the rest of the payment once it is completed.
The client had a problem with both of these REASONABLE choices. The last two clients have wasted about 6 hours of my life. But I have definantly learnt something from it.
Moving on:
I recent purchased a brand new Canon Digital Rebel XT. 8 Megapixels! Eleven Hundred Dollars. It’s worth it. Check out the new photos I took with it. (1, 2)
