			<description><![CDATA[Great information for anyone seeking to get started in the web business or any business for that matter. A lot of things taking me back to when I first got started. I to have toss up when deciding to work on a flat rate or hourly Sometimes it can be more lucrative , but that is also a two way street... As far as Joomla goes, I don't even want to talk about it :-) Keep up the great work Jay http://www.adamssite.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So Steve, quick question for you. Can you charge for time and labor (or flat rate) for piecing together a Joomla site and also adding in various modules and templates or do you have to create modules and templates on your own? Please excuse my ignorance. www.samritter.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Henry - yes, you charge for your time and labor. Legally you can even charge for Joomla itself so long as you don't change the license, but I wouldn't recommend that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like your way to see the business side of it. I have a question that might not go with your article, but I need some clarification if I may. Can I charge when I use Joomla as my webdesign tool? since Joomla is an open source application? Regards, Henry]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Stuart Thanks for the kind words. The hourly rate vs fixed cost debate is actually the biggest discussion I have with my friends in webdesign, graphic design, advertising and other areas. Some people strongly disagree with me on this. Maybe I should add some caveats: 1) very clear invoicing for all time spent 2) good communication so the client always knows the billing situation 3) a willingness to finish the project for the agreed price if you've made a mistake that you should have avoided when estimating costs]]></description>

			<title>give them a straight answer</title>
			<link>http://www.alledia.com/blog/business/a-to-z-of-hard-earned-business-advice-for-web-designers/#comment-4945</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Good post, and I recognise a lot of hard-learned lessons in there ;-) I agree with your C (charge by the hour) as long as it doesnt mean that you cannot give a straight answer to the question "how much will it cost?". One of the great benefits of using a CMS from the developers point of view is that it takes a lot of the hand-crafting out of the job, so it should be possible to be very accurate about cost and timescales. Also, your V for vary your business model is spot-on. I subscribe to your rss feed because of your interviews with joomla/cms developers whcih I havent seen anywhere else. Keep up the good work!]]></description>
