I have always billed hourly in the past, however I'm working on changing my business model a bit to break away from that.
I do a ton of WordPress work, and working with other peoples' themes has always been a headache for me, no matter how well they're built. There's a lot of time spent learning the inner-workings of someone else's code.
Like everyone else has said, you gotta pad your bid to give you some breathing space.
It's hard when a client hears that a few "simple changes" to a "ready to go" theme is going to cost so much, and that's the reason why I don't get much work in this department. Most of the clients I encounter who are looking to go this route balk when they get a quote from me.
Most of my WordPress time is spent developing custom themes, and that's what I prefer anyway so it works out.
- nocomply, you build themes on hourly or bid for the build based on your hourly?MrAbominable
- Previously it was all hourly, but I provided a detailed estimate outlining all hours before proceeding.nocomply
- However I'm trying to move to a flat rate for projects in which the scope of work is clearly defined upfront.nocomply
