I ain’t got time to code
by Aneal on Jul.09, 2010, under Web Dev
So a friend of mine has hired me to build a website for his motorcycle club. Doing freelance web design can be tough. Mostly because the client rarely has any concrete info for you. They’ll say “maybe we could have a …” or “it might be cool if we …”. You learn to roll w/ the punches in this kind of business. My advice to you all is to build a couple dozen templates in your spare time. Offer each of these templates to your potential clients and let them pick and choose features that they like: “I’ll take header ‘A’ with background ’4′ and font ‘W’. Should cut down on dev time considerably. Just be sure to use CSS to speed things up.
Oh, and if they say we want a store/flash anything, make sure you let them know that it’ll cost a LOT more.
Rant done.
