Question
What are some considerations and feedback for setting prices in an industry that is constantly changing processes and clients have a lot of feedback in the development process of a web-site or marketing campaign, what works vs. what doesn't work? Should you go fix with set scope? or just go hourly with high-level estimates?
Answer
Hourly billing incentivizes slow delivery and overcharges. Knowing this, people like me are very reluctant to hire someone who bills hourly.
Customers have more security when the scope of the project, its timeline, and budget are outlined clearly in advance. Doing this also protects the contractor from those dreaded never-ending jobs.
