At any ra...Thanks for your Twitter msg, by the way! At any rate, I probably should assign specifics to how much time I spend on a piece, but I love ding new things all the time and pushing the envelope (which always takes more time). Therefore, I generally take the actual cost of the materials, and then add an amount based on the complexity of the piece.<br /><br />I tend to follow a similar concept in the web/graphic design portion of m business -- there's a standard rate (hourly, generally), but then if it's a new technique or application, I won't charge for the time spent playing around with the new thing, unless training has specifically been written into the agreement (such as writing the help file for someone's application).<br /><br />Hope that helps someone. Like many other things with a small business, there is always room for adjustment and improvement -- or should be!<br /><br />Cheers!Horse 'n' Roundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904907833510696750noreply@blogger.com
