RE: FLASH: OT: client changing site design at will

[Tim Hawkins]

	We regularly suggest a database/asp site with administration screens

that upload to regularly changing areas, such as products, news and press

releases. There is an initial cost, but is an investment as it is scalable

as site grows.


	Or, monthly maintainance contract however small.



	but clients don't want to buy the software themselves,

	they don't want to pay anything to make changes. 


	 If they don't want to pay  for changes they don't get changes


	If it was a magazine they were producing (you can draw a comparison)

do they find an old copy of quark make changes to layout and then supply

that to the repro house, I think not. And on that subject there is  an

imovable deadline when publishing in print, miss that and you miss a booking

on a print press which usually can't be rescheduled as is booked fully.

Would cost you a fortune to re-book and would incure a rush charge etc.

sometimes doubling the cost.


	See my point 


	I have worked as a web designer for around 4 years, previously in

traditional print and television design.


	There were defined rules of engagement so to speak. The client had

to move HIS arse as well.



	Sorry, for going into one.



	Tim
