Each of us is different in these respects :)<br /><br /><B>Savannah</B> - aye, you can trust a philosopher to get straight to the heart of the matter<br /><br /><B>Mapstew</B> - don't worry, I don't forget myself. In fact, it's one aspect of becoming the kind of person I want to be.<br /><br /><B>Charlie</B> - with an opener like that, she runs the risk of frightening off other commenters :)<br /><br /><B>Pat</B> - the problem of pricing web design is a good website is not about a specific number of pages and images, it's about whether it helps the objectives of the individual or business in the way they need the most. <br /><br />I can no more state a price for a website in advance than I could answer a question like "how much does a house cost?" In order to answer properly, you must first find out how much the person has to spend, and what their requirements are. Only then can you begin to create a solution tailored for their needs.<br /><br /><B>Conan</B> - I guess the difference for me with the web design is I have no desire to restart a web business. So if friends can benefit from my knowledge, which is otherwise sitting there going to waste, I'm happy to pass it on. <br /><br />If it's for commercial use, or is going to be too time consuming, then that's a different matterKim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-19141961944786785572009-04-28T11:45:00.000+01:002009-04-28T11:45:00.000+01:00Hardly a day passes without my getting an email fr...Hardly a day passes without my getting an email from someone looking for a bit of the specialist info contained in my brain.<br /><br />It doesn't seem to occur to them that I've spent some considerable time and effort getting that info in there. They seem to feel entitled to it, for free, and to use it for commercial gain and/or personal advancement.<br /><br />I now very politely enquire if they are selling the info on, or if they intend crediting the source. This seems to stop them in their tracks, the bare-faced effrontery of it, and the ones after something for nothing tend not to respond.Conan Drummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377667084973491628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-63847472614166514402009-04-28T00:06:00.000+01:002009-04-28T00:06:00.000+01:00As far as working on web sites is concerned just t...As far as working on web sites is concerned just thank the Lord you don't live near me:)<br />And whether you like it or not - you are a writer and a photographer.<br />How about doing a post on what you would charge for design etc.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-84419186969744102672009-04-27T18:56:00.000+01:002009-04-27T18:56:00.000+01:00Sorry, but I can't top Eryl's comment.Sorry, but I can't top Eryl's comment.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-75831693045736600832009-04-27T18:37:00.000+01:002009-04-27T18:37:00.000+01:00You're a good man.
