This is a great post! Very well written wth valuable knowledge. This is something I struggle with a lot as a designer developer as my clients are usually smaller local businesses who dont understand the value that comes with a well done website. This article has made me think differently about some ways I conduct business. I will be using your advice starting today! Thanks.

I drive one. It’s from Toyota. It’s the most underrated car ever. It’s nice looking, starts around $9k and gets almost 40 mpg…but you never hear about it

Wow great reply to that article, I can’t believe that was written. Why should we work for free? Do lawyers work for free? Will a doctor do open heart surgery for free? While I don’t mind donating some time to my dad’s business site for free or build the local animal shelter’s site for free…it’s my choice and I approached them…

Amber, this article is pretty timely since a handful of blogs have recently published posts with opinions on working for free/trade/discount. I published a rather lengthly comment (http://bit.ly/bzDdSa) where I made the same argument you did. Instead of spending time haggling when it comes to price we should instead be focusing on educating the consumer on the differences in quality/service we provide. If the customer still balks at the price it might not be a good fit to begin with. Maybe this is a generalization but in my experience the clients who want the most for the least often turn out to be difficult in other ways as well.
