kill fee for large website?

Posted on October 28, 2012 by admin472 views

I’ve designed and maintained a website for a very popular good ole’ n’ roll wrist band for about 6TH years. They became successful and weren’t when I going the designing. (they were inside top 10 for many months in 2000-2001). Now they want to gain me to surrender the passwords and such for your site for another person to work on it and take it all away by me. (They have already the passwords for your domain name, but is not the hosting along with such). I think I deserve some kind of kill fee… probably $10, 000 (remember, they’re millionaires). I have never had any sort of contract with these, but I are actually paid regularly without any problems as any conditional employee and also have paid taxes on my earnings. Exactly what does everyone think What can i do Any help could be appreciated. Thanks. It can be terribly unethical. It’s ideas that adheres to that that give webmasters careless name. Quite simply, you want for you to extort them books have information that is definitely legally theirs, but you’d like to claim it is yours. I don’t even think so – I had a similiar scenario that … Continue reading →

my new client INSISTS that I should set up a template for them

Posted on October 18, 2012 by admin528 views

But they may be musicians, so I discover where they’re coming from. Also, I am already interested in a long-term maintenance contract with another client. Basically my clients will not be 100% code-savvy and so they want a system where should they type something around word, it can be instantly uploaded on the website. Does anyone know what type of thing I’m preaching about I said i always would do it, since I’ve heard about it actually becoming done, but currently I’m stuck. Bless you. BTW, I get TSW webcoder as my HTML software package, not Dreamweaver. Do need to learn much code to cut and insert the content towards the website, especially when the content is marked off in the code for straightforward readability. What I suggest, if you don’t want to add a CMS towards site, is to redo the site via CSS in the event you haven’t, create a distant relative div tag when the center content material, /* Comment that code where they should cut and stick */, and get them open any html editor and cut and substance the info. Sounds a tad Mickey Mouse, plus it will work when done properly, and it’s not … Continue reading →

client doesn’t want to use my services

Posted on October 15, 2012 by admin437 views

I created a web site for a overall performance group, and inside the maintenance contract we agreed that we would update their own calendar with up-to-date information. Basically anything that relates to the organization. Nevertheless, my contact who’s going to be the Artistic Director STILL refuses to allow me to update the calendar one specific and instead ships out new celebration information through mass fast email. I’ve tried for you to convince him about 2 or 3 times, pointing out that nothing is changed one specific since May! I hate to play police officer nevertheless it was written within the contract that each month (if services were needed) which i would update the actual website. I need to find the right way to help convince him men and women would know even more about the effectiveness group IF there seemed to be more site targeted visitors. Another project with which has slumped is the web store for your performance group. I would as well send him the bill for doing a few admin setup for the store.. that’ll have his attention!! So I’m keen on suggestions. Thanks Well, there are anybody searching for. 1st, you have to realize at some … Continue reading →

a question and some details on my after-project plans..

Posted on October 4, 2012 by admin464 views

Once you draft up any maintenance contract, in the event you give the client the opportunity of paying a flat fee (like $120 the month) for online maintenance or a strong hourly rate ($30 the hour) I’ve finished a project for any group of musicians also it seems that they can’t pay me much, since they represent themselves without a business. If it was a business, I would automatically go because of the hour, then impart them with an invoice. The musicians need to find out how to ultimately do updates for themselves and they are somewhat internet informed. My idea would be to arrange a time along on Friday so you can go over on such thinggs as updating the work schedule or adding innovative photos. Consulting can last one hour or 2 hours.. or even a paltry Half-hour so should WE charge this as being a flat fee or never So after our original consulting, they might tell me that they feel comfortable carrying out the updates themselves which might take future business from me. However, I could still offer the chance to go suitable maintenance contract along and mention that it might be convenient because let’s imagine … Continue reading →
