Hi
The slightly OT thread [WSG] Budget Design, made me think of an idea which is very relevent to all members of WSG ..
My premise is that any sensible business person should try to differentiate from competitors by showing they have skills that no one else has, vast experience etc and justify charging more than the competition because of that
So has any member of the WSG done that, justifying charging $X more than eg: "the design agency down the road which makes webpages by putting sliced photoshop images into tables" by saying something along the lines of
"I design to Web Standards and can show my product validates against these standards, this is like an industrial business getting ISO Quality certification for their processes and means my product/service satisfies web industry standards for quality of code, can other companies with proposals for your project do the same ?"
