Also, diifferent types of projects require different amounts of work. In this case, I would ask them for the specifics of the projects they need done before providing a quote. As a general rule of thumb, never be afraid to ask a client for more info before putting in a bid. It's better for everyone, them and you. |

My tendency would be to go high and then negotiate. I would ask for at least a buck a word and see what happens. --thanks dribbledrive - they did send me a layout of what they want and how many pages they thought each section would be...
