The Case Against Paying Designers By The Hour

--I agree. Any faults here?

Good luck proposing this method of payment to any design and or advertising firm that pays hourly rates. Even better yet...a prospective client that barely knows how to use their smart phone.

Faults? Yes:
- The rates clients will pay are driven by what the market will sustain. The market could not and cannot sustain a value based charging system.
- Why not include charge for 'potential' value too? If it's a successful start up business then the value of the brand etc will only increase, no? So charge them a little more upfront, or maybe get some dividend on profits? No. The value in a logo or website or brochure or TVad etc is brought by the product, service and experience NOT the designer.
- As long as there is one person who will do the job for less money then this model is fucked.
I could go on. And probably will ;)
