What is the name of your state? Indiana
I was contacted by a guy to redesign his Web site. I quoted him between $1000-$1500.
We met a couple of times and to go over what he wanted. He is almost 90 years old, so he tells me the same thing four and five times. He wants a modern bright site with big images. (He is a interior designer by the way.) I figure for my first draft I would give help show the viewer, even though he is so old, doesn't mean his desings are. So I made it very modern and MTVish, but not too overboard.
I emailed him the link once I was finished, he responded with, he had no idea what I was talking about. I called him, left a message, emailed again with no responce. Finally he calls me and says "send me a link."
He then calls me a half hour later and says that the site wasn't what he was looking for, and he would rather just pay me a couple of hundred buck and have someone else do it. I said first of all is cost much more than a couple of hundred buck, and I wanted to work with him to get something that he liked.
He said, "send me an invoice for $500 and I'll pay that, I'll have nothing and you'll have my $500." I said, I want to work with you on getting a site that you like... he said "send me an invoice for $500 and I'll pay it and thats it, I'll have omeone else do it."
than he hung up on me.
Should I just chalk it up as a loss and send a $500 invoice and be done with it?
or
Should I fight him on sending me the full amount?
I get paid for my time per hour and not per product. Some clients get much more for the same amount of money, based on how many changes etc (time I send on each piece).
Thank you.
