Don't do her a website for a $1000 dollars that somebody else paid for different work ? What a bunch of phooey - this woman has no respect for how you operate or any sense of how to go about business. This will be one of the worst, most drawn-out unsatisfactory things you ever do - it'll never be 'right'. The phone will ring at midnight because there's 'a strange box near the bottom of the page', or the green 'just isn't right still - how about I come over there and sit with you shaking my head while you make +1 adjustments to the slider in photoshop, whilst also remarking that it doesn't look webby enough'. It will end acrimoniously and she'll drag it on until she breaks you. She has no stake in this and will not play it as if you are working for hire, or are a valued expert whom she is privileged to have on her side. Walk away now or at least get her to pay some money upfront and and agreement to pay an equal amount at THE END of the project, because without this you're just pissing in the wind and she's holding your cock.
Be as polite as you can, obviously, but she is genuinely mistaken if she thinks you and she are already $1000 into a project. Nu-uh.
Get her to try that in any other business, anywhere in the world.
