In the past when I've been involved with or observed schemes that involved bartering software development services for other services, it has ended poorly. The main problem is that software development never really ends. There are always bugs to fix, new features to add, etc. When you're trading a service like that for something that's more finite like design work or office space, it's rather easy for the balance to slip into a rather inequitable realm for the software developer, and eventually ruin relationships.
