Have you ever heard the term "Contract With The Devil"?

No I haven't

haha that is the best clause ever. So why would anyone pay you to do a job when they won't get the design they want?

Blue Tiger · 08-05-2004, 04:56 PM

???? I said that if you are not satisifed with your layout i will not stop wokring until you are...

You did? Ok I just re-read it again and realize what you meant, it is worded kinda funny. My apologies.

You might want to put a limit on how much they ask for. I think that's what Pinyo ment, like you could get some jackass of a client who wants everything for $25.

Little T,

This is just a little advice I'd like to share with you. Make sure you are fully committed to this guarantee. Because this will use up a lot of your time. More than expected. I offer a money back guarantee on all our products and services and we make sure the customer is 100% satisfied before we request payment. Most time it works out but there are times that we lose money on some projects. Some project that would normally take 5 hours ends up taking 20+ hours and the overhead can kill you especially if the price is too low. In the end you end up losing money.

Low pricing and unlimited changes is a formula for disaster. I am not trying to discourage you but just make you aware of the situation.

I recently worked on a php project for someone not only did they receive quality work and a fully functional script based on the original specs, but they did not pay and kept asking for more and more additions that I had to finally say that I could no longer continue with the project at the original price, because I knew they would not be willing to pay for the additional or original changes. It was costing me too much money to continue with the project. I am not blaming the customer because I have chosen to run my business this way even though I know that this type of thing can happen.

This seems to be what the other members are referring to as well.

Good Luck!

I saw a movie about Hitler (don't remember the title).
In it, a rich arts dealer was asked why he charges so much for the paintings he sells.

"Because otherwise nobody would buy them" - was the unswer.

Interesting. . .

Oh, another tip. You probably don't want your company known as cheap. You should consider using the terms that are not negative like affordable, inexpensive, within your budget, etc,.

In the business world cheap usually means bad, low quality. I am sure that's not the impression you want to give. Sorry for the comments, they may be inappropriate but felt I should say something.

Thanks Imaginemn you gave me alot of great tips

Pinyo · 08-06-2004, 06:24 AM

Those a good comments Imagine. I was a little freaked out when I see people offer stuff like I will do it until you like it because they probably don't know what some real-world client can be like.

A few of them will exploit the hell out of you.

Blue Tiger · 08-06-2004, 07:16 AM

Yeah, thats true.... but I dont do that type of stuff

Yep, that's how I understood it. And with an open-ended statement of "I'll carry on working until you're happy" (which is a good thing IMO), is that worth it for 25 bucks?!
