Now as far as time is concerned, a serious client shouldn't be expecting you to work for less hours that you have, otherwise he could probably do it himself; don't forget he actually asked someone with experience to do the job (you). Then it is quite obvious you will have to do a few amendments to meet your clients' final expectations (I don't think anybody would be expecting you to get it perfectly right straight away), so they are just not being realistic. I suggest that you should asked them for a fixed fee next time, but [b]only for small jobs [/b]such as newsletters or business cards; to fix the amount, you should consider the time you think you are going to spend on the task, including amendments and final proofs. I would ask about £50 or $70. Of course you just bare the fact that they might be asking you to change evrything three times. Now if you are to work on bigger jobs, what I would do myself would be to fix a "conception fee", which means all the preparation work beforehand up to the mock up, and I reckon this should be about a third of the final price. This should be payable once both sides agreed on an idea, then the realisation should be on a hourly rate. Make sure you write down everything you do, that is how much time you spent on what, and make sure you keep your clients informed; at least they cannot pretend they're surprised about the time you spent afterwards. Good luck. *I have recently done business cards for the company I work for, which is slightly different, but I reckon I spent about a day on them altogether (including the time I took to ask for feedback and sort out the printing) Loading...
