Re: Designing for money (27th Apr 08 at 11:44pm UTC)
Posted By vanillaorchids on 27th Apr 08 at 10:16pm In the past I had one woman offer to pay me to make websites for her clients. A couple of them I was paid for. Awhile back someone offered to pay me to make them a large number of individual graphics. I made them, the person claimed to have mailed the money but it was returned so she was going to mail it again .... never got it and she wouldn't reply to my PMs. So she got the 80 graphics I made her and I got nothing. LOL About a month or so ago someone sent me a PM offering to pay me to make them a complete forum template. I was paid $50 for it. The extra money certainly comes in handy but it's not often that someone offers to pay. LOL I would sue her. Find her website and report her.

I've done one or two bits for clients which i'm getting paid for...there's a massive hold up on some of them though, which is a pain I've just had an interview for a Junior Web Designer, so if i get the job, soon i'll be doing it for a living

Posted By Ross on 1st May 08 at 6:47pm Posted By Graham on 1st May 08 at 4:10pm Posted By Michael on 29th Apr 08 at 10:16pm Where? A place called Godalming, which is about 45 mins from my place. It's a pity you don't live a bit nearer to me as we (meaning the company I work with) are looking for a new front end developer as well as a new designer. So if anyone does live in north surrey hint hint Can I join?

So if anyone does live in north surrey hint hint Yeah, Anything further than about 45 mins to an hour is pushing it a bit, especially as i don't have a car of my own at the moment (sharing with my mum). Unless the money was excellent of course Also, they're probably after what i can't offer

First of all, are the posts on this page out of order (ie, posts being quoted and responded to before they're made) for anyone else? Secondly, I've programmed and 'designed' - meaning adapted open source, free templates to the software I wrote - several sites for people now. I always do it for free. I feel once I start charging, I have an obligation to excellence, and am not sure I can perform excellence. So I just do people favors, instead. Plus, it's fun. ~Artemis
