Remember, its not personal, its business. This helps both you and the client.

Recently I started marketing my services more aggressively to new clients, and for the first time in a while was setting the price for my services in advance. My latest was a killer for me, although we went with a really good template, I ended up spending more time than I would had I done it from scratch because we changed color schemes and the layout twice. In addition, my client had tons of edits. The worst part was that I was creating a website for an attorney! It really hit home to me that I need a pricing schedule and a firm contract for my work. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, I always appreciate it. Tom Rogers Hi Stefan,
