    what would you charge?

    I'm a freelance designer and web developer -- but I haven't done a lot of flash projects for pay. I have a client wanting a 90 sec. mega flash intro/commercial like piece to be presented on a jumbo trom - if you can imagine! Anyway I would love input from y'all on what to charge for this.

    8 million golden squirrels and a bucket of fish!

    seriously though, how long would you spend on it? will they supply all the graphics needed?

    Even if you give us as much information as possible, it is hard to give you an estimate as we don't know your skills, experience, background etc.

    Use this formula

    how much you think you're worth an hour * (hours you think it'll take * 3)

    You just can't justify more than 7.5 million golden squirrels and a litter of pickled herring now-a-days for a flash intro. Razors figures are definately on the high side of high end design me thinks.

    Wow. Remind me to never accept an invitation to one of Vamp's parties.

    I don't think that's even legal around here, and Portland's a very liberal city…

    Yeah, but barter income is a real pain in the butt to report come tax time. Best to stay away from it.

    Although it would be just like the IRS to take 1/3 of a goat.

    "Whatddya mean 'what are you supposed to do with 2/3rds of a dead goat?' That's really not our problem is it?"

    LOL....


    what I want to know is, how would I calculate depreciation and recovery time on a live goat.


    These are the questions I've been troubled with ever since I started this venture.

    Do you think I could talk him into accepting golden squirrels as payment? If so, send me his number, d. This doing taxes stuff is for the birds.

    This reminds me of that Two Cows political thing...

    Fee per page view on the above site is 1/2 monkey + GST (Goat Sales Tax) + PST (Pointless Silliness Tax).
