On the other hand, in that sort of pricing it seems natural that code that requires few lines to create a lot will be more complicated to learn and use, thus priced higher. A fact like that would even things out quite well. I'm not in any way suggesting that HTML should be priced the same per LOC as C++. And yes, we do price projects by taking the required functionality, break it down into pieces and calculate how much time it will take roughly to create that functionality in the chosen language, then add time to "glue" it all together, tests, administration and much much more before we give a quote to the client. This method does demand that the client can specify what they want, so we usually take a day to interview the client, then a day or two to put together a specification. As the client and we are in agreement on the functionality, then we work out a quote. That way we often can set clear limits on what's agreed for the fixed price and what will be billed by the hour. /Dan [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/sig3.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] -{ a vibration is a movement that doesn't know which way to go }- [This message has been edited by DmS (edited 09-08-2003).] Loading...
