I know this sounds greedy or stupid but I was just wondering, as a soon-to-be freelancer (hopefully), i see that making websites wont make you THAT much money. You basically do it for the art and to do what you love. But I know 2advanced rents an office building from TechSpace (one of their clients) and I was looking at their rates and I can’t see how 2advanced can be making enough money with all of their staff. I mean I know they are the industry leader but how much do these guys charge?
Yeldarb, you have to act in a professional and serious manner in order for any company to take you seriously. I’m not saying that they’d give you a quote on the first call. Before you pick up the phone you have to know what you’re going to ask them for. Most of the companies I contacted sent me literature on their developement process and a breakdown of what the costs were. If you try doing this I suggest you do your homework. Also, the words ‘ballpark figure’ come in handy and you have to have reasons behind every request you make.
Btw, no smart business person says that money is not an object and I’m sure 2a has had very few if any clients that have went into a meeting saying that.
