- You call your self a "Web Developer", is that just another way of saying "Web Designer"?
- By Web Developer, I mean that I am professionally trained programmer. I have been programming computers for over 25 years. In that time I have set up networks, web servers etc. including designing graphics. Web Designers typically focus on web graphics and what the web site looks like. Web Developers tend to focus on what the web site does for you.
-
- How do you charge for a project?
- Typically I quote a job with a high and a low range with a 50% down payment up front. I give a range because on most jobs clients needs expand as they see their project develop. I don't want there to be any surprises and your 100% satisfaction is very important to me.
-
- Do you have an hourly rate?
- Yes, I do. When I charge by the hour it involves me coming on-site and working for you exclusively--typically 40 hours a week. When I work this way, my rate is $60/hr.
