- derleth 16y ago£1 for the new favicon, £1 for knowing how to do it, £583 for knowing my client will actually pay that much.
- Natsu 16y ago> £584 for knowing how to do it. 1) Draw crappy icon in any of the zillion free icon editors out there (e.g. IconEdit32). 2) Name the file 'favicon.ico' and upload it to the root directory of the website. I have a feeling I should be doing consulting in the UK or something.
- burgerbrain 16y agoKnowing how to do it naturally includes "knowing how to land the job". Not as easy as it sounds.
- Natsu 16y agoI recognize that there can be a lot of government hoops to jump through that can legitimately make it expensive to do business with them, but I don't see why the government had to outsource that to begin with. I say that because I remember it taking me only a few minutes to go from knowing nothing whatsoever about them to making my own.
- RaRic 16y agoI need a favicon. Will you do it for ten bucks?
- prawn 16y agoIf I tell a designer to recreate Amazon.com's front page as a Photoshop PSD, they could probably do it in under an hour. If I tell a designer to create the front page of a feature-packed, online store where every tiny decision has a significant impact on sales figures, and the process has to be run past (and work for) countless people within the organisation - no one is doing that in under an hour! In this case, there's every chance that the actual decision making process was "resize logo or part of logo to fit a small square", but there's also a chance that other options were considered, a couple of meetings were held to get it approved, etc.
- gojomo 16y ago£1 for the new favicon, £266 for the trouble of dealing with government procurement, £268 to compensate for the guilt of charging the government £267 for £1 of work.
- wmil 16y ago£1 for the new favicon, £584 for sitting through multiple approval meetings.
