FLASH: How to Handle Requests for Spec Work

[Bob Schmidt]

There has been a fair amount of discussion on the list about how to handle

requests for spec work.


There are times when it is justifiable to agree to do work on spec, and

other times when it is not justified or necessary. I have written on this

subject for web designers at

http://provider.com/spec.htm


This advice is based on my 2 decades of experience in advertising and

public relations and 4 years in web development and  is just as applicable

to Flash projects as web design. If you are working your way through this

business issue you may find my words on this subject helpful.


On my site you'll also find, among other things, information on setting

rates and a contract swipe file. Enjoy!
