In the case of 'no pay until complete', the situation has arisen in the past where the concept of 'complete' was at issue. We worked it out well, and both of us got good on the deal, but hopefully mentioning this will work as a word of caution... Clients don't always know the 'ins and outs' of

I would disable any module in apache you don't need. poke around in jrun.xml - it's probably the easiest way to enable http in CF. you can double check your jrun port there too. On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 17:46, Jason Slack wrote: > > I dont need mod_proxy or ldap. > > Can you tell me how to enable

Thanks for all the feedback. The original site was a $20k project in 2002. Now this redesign which is more complex is hitting the $40k range. I went back and looked closer at all the billing we have done in the past ( I was not in charge at that time of billing ) and I feel this new price is

It depends on the value you provided. Is the program worth the $40,000 or so? Will they be making a lot of money off of it? If so, I wouldn't discount it after the fact. Do what you did on the previous projects.. that is what they are expecting. If the website doesn't appear elaborate, they a

A practice I usually do is invoice weekly on a project. I rarely do 'quoted' jobs anymore, however I do give a guesstimate if the client wants one. I don't have the relationship that you have with your client, but if you have racked up legitimate hours on a project, I would charge them full pr
