@mitso Well, first off, $500 websites devalue our industry not to mention might not be fair to the client as each client has different needs. Therefore, setting a fixed price would only benefit you, not the client. Secondly, where do you think that sort of plan will ultimately get you? To me that sounds like an old-fashioned way to do business. A “let’s shake on it” sort of method. Without a contract, both parties can screw each other over.

Q: Why do you think majority, if not all, service companies require a contract?

A: Because the customer can clearly say they were not legally obligated to pay.
