wow,

So on my way back from running some errands yesterday, I ran into a sign on the roadside in my home town of Atlanta. It read, "Websites for $50". Of course, trust me , I immediately converted this amount into Naira and came up with the conservative figure of N6,000 (I like to assume N100 so that when I visit, I am not stranded ).

Anyways, so I call the person, she picks up and we start talking. I ask for some of her sites to determine if I would go with her. She gave me her latest: http://www.thunderbirdsusa.net/ as well as others found on the "links" section of that site.

In my opinion, her work is worth more than $50 and I wonder why she charges so cheaply. I mean, how many sites will she have to do to fill up her tank (I currently pay $50 to fill mine for instance)? Granted she said she doesn't do any new work but works off of 5 templates she has already, still, $50 too small o! In fact, it should be a crime to charge that little. Having said all that, the capitalist in me says to let sleeping dogs lie. If that is what she wants to charge, so be it. That will in no way make me come down on my prices. As I often say, there is Okirika and there is Leventis.

So, to all my brethren and "sistren" developers out there, sorry for saying you charge so low as someone else, in America for that matter, has definitely taken the cake. Having said that, never ever sell yourselves short. It has been my experience that the more you charge, the more respect those clients who are willing to work with you will have for you.

As always, my 2 cents

You are advertising on her behalf, but pretending otherwise. I really really hate that. Moving to advert section.

biko nu, e jo o. no advert o! Just relating my experiences to my brothers/sisters-in-arms. If possible, pls move back to webmaster section. If not, no ya wa.
