I'm doing your website for free and you want WHAT?

So I'm a freelance designer. I'm interested in building a portfolio so I'm currently doing some work free of charge. And you would expect that since I AM working for free, people would be somewhat sympathetic with the this-is-a-FREE-website-so-don't-be-expecting-a-www.dolcegabbana.com/dg/-kinda-site. Nah. I give them some pretty neat CSS, but they say, "But I thought it was going to be a Flash Site." Well, do you want some Dom Perignon while I'm at it you asswipe?

If they can't meet you on the trade and commerce tip, then you let them it costs extra for something like flash. What you can give them for free is CSS. Alot of times, people that aren't creative that work with creative people aren't good expressing what they want. Happens all the time.

This is a situation that comes up all the time. It seems that the more of a favor you are doing the more the "client" will take the piss. Never work with friends or family if you can help it.

I often tell certain clients this - Cheap, Fast, Good. You get to pick 2 of them Cheap and fast - it won't be good, fast and good - it won't be cheap, cheap and good - it won't be fast

Yeah, I feel for you. And just wait to see how many times they ask for FREE updates over the next year!!

Thanks Shy, love the advice! This just happened to me and she assigned a person who has never done a website to tell me what to do. I just can't take it anymore.

Hi! are you still doing websites for free? can you help me? This website im asking for help is for a cause... Socio civic activity. Thank you very much!
