ew... just thinking of all the back and forths from the days of static HTML. ('oh and on this page, we decided to go with Y image instead of X, and change to wording of our mission statement, oh and the price of B product has changed) yikes!
you can keep your maintenance contract, i want to move along to the next project, and let the client handle the content. |
I agree,
It’s a nightmare trying to give clients what they want, especially as they don’t know themselves.
I think the client wants you to just keep designing over and over again just to see if they like it.
I don’t think the client truly appreciates the effort involved in developing a site. I have developed lots of sites that where w3c valid only to have them ripped apart over and over again by the client. So much so that they are no longer w3c valid.
Pricing a site has always been hard as you have to factor this in.
