It feels weird at first but I guess if I continue doing freelance, it's going to happen more often. At least I can vent my anger on NT.
thanks guys. :-)

Depends on the customer...You can't lower your values to win it. You know what your work is worth...right??
Don't lose your sleep on it. ;P

what really sucks is that there are designers out there so broke that they're bidding sites out at $500 and up. they might be living with a few roommates and just need a bit of $ for rent or something so to them $500 is a lot of money.
or... it could be some fucking idiot who took an html class and thinks he can design a site.
either way it sucks big ones.

thanks Exador, really appreciate it. I had to go out for fresh air. and food. but I will definitely send him an email.
thanks

anytime edvin..
when i heard his reaction to seein your site over the phone, i knew i'd done a good thing..have a look at his company and see what you think..
- piperboytoy0
Yeah I just did. Looks like a very useful tool for designers. I wonder what kind of work he wants done. I'll definitely give him a shout tonight.
Thanks again for the hook up. :)
- exador0
no sweat..
i'm not sure what he was after either..
he's been interviewing folks he told me, and had talked to some flash guy recently...but the guy was strictly production..no imagination really...
anyhow, he just asked me if i could recommend someone, and i thought of you..
he was totally blown away with your portfolio...anyhow, he's a great guy, and definitely the coolest guy i've ever worked for..
