Baked sites for paying clients?

Most professionals charge for their time and expertise. They do not (or at least should not) charge for any open source code.

zonathen:
Seems to me that wb could handle anything regardless of the size of the corporation.  I've found it to be a very reliable product and used in multiple heavy traffic, bigger customer sites without hitch.

For complicated projects I even combine WB with CodeIgniter, a MVC framework for rapid php development and they both hum along nicely.

Has anybody out there experienced different results?

kweitzel:
nope, nothing bad to say about WB ... mostly the performance issues I had to deal with were server related and not WB related.

I also don't see any issues with large sites ... as long as the server(s) included in the setup are up to the task :-)

cheers

Hence why prices were so high during the dot com "boom". Most clients don't care what you build their site with, but if it does what you have contracted with them.

Open source, PHP, ASP, Lego blocks... paper and glue. If it does what the client wants i to do then you can charge them whatever you want (and they will pay).

PHP is an open source coding language. You don't think companies charge as much for that as for ASP and the like? I'm guessing from the comments so far that you guys don't work in the industry? I'd really like to hear from someone who does, and has worked with WB for paying clients sites.

Please.  :-D

But you don't pay for the Software. You pay for the service of installing, configuring and designing the page ... thee are enough people out there, who are happy to pay for that service.

E.g.:

* Installation & Configuration: $100
* Adaptation of existing template: $75
* Creation of exclusive design: $250
Is that what you wanted to see?

cheers
