    I don't think you are devaluing the work if you communicate with them effectively. If you explained to them that work is worth 3x what they are offering, but you are able to re-skin the first job for them. If you tell them upfront that you are going to take that short cut in order to meet their budget then you would be maintaining the value perception. They will know they are buying a re-painted website, and you can make it abundantly clear to them that if they then start asking for additional stuff that diversifies from the pre-made site they will need to find additional budget to cover the bespoke work.

    • Could result in a kerching. Lets face it, they're bound to want to start fiddling about once you get underway.Orbit
    • That is very good advice, make sure you get a contract drawn up thoughharmsie
    • yeah just make it VERY clear that you won't do any tweaking. OR: tell them they have 2 hours of tweak time, anything beyond that will cost moreProjectile
    • beyond that will cost more.Projectile
