No design no anything, just mod the CMS to my liking. This post has been edited by SeeD: Dec 8 2008, 04:53 AM |

QUOTE(etsuko @ Jun 3 2009, 12:01 PM) The client will actually be spending only on the 10 pages, design and development. RM500 was what I charged close to 10 years ago. LOL! Following a constant inflation rate of 7% per year, you should charge RM1000 by now Guestbook - free ones available. But not worth having it anymore - not coz old, but effectiveness. Sitemap - can be automatically generated depending how your site is developed. Contact form - shouldn't be a problem like the sitemap. Hosting - Serverfreak has low-cost options, or IPServerOne charges only RM99 a year and it's more than enough space. Here's a quick tip for all you freelancers. They client will only need a ton of space if they store emails on their server. Normally, clients using Outlook and etc would download them to the computer. But I have a feeling that you won't. |

QUOTE(etsuko @ Jun 4 2009, 01:01 PM) LOL! Icednyior already said she heard from friends who were undercutting even further. Let me rephrase you, "Oh, how I can't wait for the foolish Generation Y to take over companies." Oh, how I can't wait for the Gen-Y to takeover companies. But whats the difference ? Following the same fluctuation rate of 7%. Wantan mee that costs 4 bucks now will cost 8 bucks after a period of 10 years. This post has been edited by SeeD: Jun 4 2009, 11:00 PM |

QUOTE(etsuko @ Jun 6 2009, 07:24 PM) Urm, the Gen-Y generation are the ones who're more open to new ideas. So why call them foolish? LOL! Well I'm talking it in terms of economics. LOLAFAIK, they are the generation who's life is mostly revolving around the Internet right now. Rather than the directors in the their golden years sitting on their laurels. Added on June 7, 2009, 12:34 pmThis is what I call undercutting. LOL! RM299 for a Wordpress / e-Commerce / Forum. http://littlekittle.com/shop/index.php?act...d&productId=84/ |

QUOTE(etsuko @ Jun 9 2009, 12:13 PM) Well I'm not an economist nor I am very good with the economy LOL But what I can assure you us our money governing system sucks (yes, the whole world's money system sucks). That's the reason inflation continue to exist even as we speak. That's the reason why I said you can charge double the amount of money you charge 10 years ago now What we need is an influential GEN Y person who can revert this almost-impossible-to-revert system back. Meh having said this the money we're using is not even money now ... Ok I think we're farrrrrrrrrr away from topic now and I'll just end it here.

Right, "OMG!" here's a thing I've read a few days ago that hit me with a lot of sense.
In the stone age, barter system is used as buy/sell system that is extremely slow and thus, everybody is equally poor. In the industrial age, demand for money is very high and quick transactions are required. Thus we have all the banks lending out money and balancing up their storage with "credit". They also have more stores, malls, cinemas, etc in the busiest street of the world. In the information age (our generation), we have the internet which is the fastest kind of money transfer. Our economist know that shops and malls are limited by working hours and our websites DO NOT TAKE A REST. So which one is more efficient? A. An actual shop that is limited by time, people, money and so on. B. A virtual shop that is not limited by time, people, money ? It's obvious that those who owns a website for their business will prosper faster than those who didn't. Thus the need to learn web designing even for business course is to prepare the young for the change. Well, maybe I don't write as well as the author himself. But this would give you a basic idea of why even business courses students would need to learn web designing now. How do they do it? They have lectures to teach them. Duh?
